Small Ruminant Field Day May 31 at ACHS

Are you raising goats and sheep or simply interested in getting started? Join us for the Small Ruminant Field Day on May 31 from 8:30 a.m. to approximately 4 p.m. at the Appomattox County High School and their FFA (Future Farmers of America) Land Laboratory Farm in Appomattox.

This program is geared toward producers at all levels, from established flocks and herds raising a few 4-H lambs, to those wanting to get started. Come learn from veterinarians, Virginia Tech and Virginia State University Specialists, and peer producers. Program topics include dystocia and birthing issues, fecal egg counts, feed efficiency, production methods, lamb cooking demonstration, pasture management, FAMACHA, cost share opportunities for your farm, and more!
