Lambing Clinic
Saturday, March 12,2011
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 and Top Ten Tips for saving lambs. Dr. Rapp will take us through a “Why Did It Die?” autopsy on a lamb. 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
$45 for first attendee in the family, $35 for second. Kids under 12 free.
Teens welcome!
Two working positions are available for half-price. One is in exchange for
