Specialists involved: Jimmy Henning, Ray Smith, Chris Teutsch

Sheep and goats comprise a small but growing and profitable enterprise in Kentucky. The Kentucky Sheep and Goat Association and the UKY forages group cooperated to produce an online course for small ruminant producers to be a part of the Master Small Ruminant Producer series. New videos and publications were developed to comprise a comprehensive forage course for small ruminant producers. Over 29 original videos were produced for this online course. The course will go live in late 2022.
