Building Blocks for Healthy Herds and Flocks Register Now for Free Virtual Workshop Join NCAT Livestock Specialists Margo Hale and Linda Coffey on Thursday, July 8, 2021, for a virtual workshop on small ruminant health.
Margo and Linda have enjoyed raising sheep and goats for years—many years, in Linda’s case! In this workshop, they will share their strategies for selecting and managing healthy, profitable animals. 
They also will explain the impact internal parasites have on sheep and goats. Participants will leave the workshop understanding how to recognize and support healthy stock by smart buying, thoughtful pasture management, and careful monitoring. There will be plenty of time for questions, and interaction via chat is encouraged. Registrants will receive a follow-up email with links to further resources.
This virtual event will take place from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. CDT. The workshop is free, but registration is required. Click here to register.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Zoom meeting online or by phone.
