Lambing Clinic
Saturday, March 17, 2012
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Condense years of knowledge into one day with veterinarian Dr. Jackie Rapp, a panel of experienced shepherds, and a barnful of lambs. The morning session will cover Decision-Making at Lambing, Top Ten Tips for saving lambs, and a necropsy to determine “Why Did This Lamb Die?” Then we’ll head to the barn to demonstrate management practices such as ear-tagging, tube feeding, tail docking, nursing difficulties, and other common problems. Even more important, we’ll show you how to recognize the behavior of healthy newborns who need no intervention.
Lunch will be a shared Covered Dish meal in a warm place!
Limited to 25 participants so everyone gets hands-on practice.
Program fee $45 for first attendee in the family, $40 for second. Kids under 12 free.
Teens welcome!
