80 attend Lambing & Kidding School

Approximately 80 people from six states attend the 2009 Lambing & Kidding School, held November 21 in Waldorf, Maryland. The bi-annual school is sponsored by University of Maryland Extension.

The main speaker was Dr. Susan Kerr, an Extension Educator and veterinarian from Washington State University. Dr. Kerr's participation in the school was sponsored by Northeast Sustainable Agriculture and Research (SARE).

Door prizes were donated by Premier Sheep Supplies, Milk Specialties Company, and Good Shepherd Lamb Coats. Shepherd Magazine provided flock record books and color copies of the excellent publication, "Why didn't it live?" by Joe Rook.

Participants in the school received a resource notebook and various other handouts. The contents of the notebook (and other handouts) are available for download at www.sheepandgoat.com/programs/09LKSchoolNotebook.html.
