Small Ruminants: Preparing for Winter

Tuesday, October 25, 2022 • 7:30 – 9 PM

Zoom Event


Fall is often a time of rest for sheep and goat producers. The ewe and doe flock is in varying stages of pregnancy and does not require as much attention. But sound management at this time is extremely important. Proper vaccination programs, mineral supplementation, and other nutritional factors can directly affect success at lambing/ kidding. Join us for an evening of learning and a Q & A session with Dr. Scott Greiner, Extension Sheep Specialist with Virginia Tech.
