Major Program: Small Ruminants (includes sheep, goats) and Exotic animals
Goat and sheep production are on the rise with many producers new to agriculture. To address this growing demand, a Small Ruminant Meeting with approximately 70 producers in attendance was held. Participants learned about nutrition, parasite management, foot rot, mastitis and marketing. Participants have requested more educational meetings to be specie specific.
