There will be one-day lambing clinic at Owens Farm in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, March 17, 2012. The morning session will cover Decision-Making at Lambing, Top Ten Tips for Saving Lambs, and a demonstration of a necropsy to determine "Why Did This Lamb Die?"
Management practices such as ear-tagging, tube feeding, tail docking, nursing difficulties, and other common problems will be demonstrated during the afternoon barn session. Instructors will be veterinarian Dr. Jackie Rapp and a panel of experienced shepherds.
The tuition is $40 for the first person in a farm or family; $40 for the second. Participation is limited to 25 due to the hands-on nature of the program. For more information, contact the Owens Farm at (570) 286-5309 or www.owensfarm.com.
The Owens farm has 67 Coopworth and Katahdin ewes that will be lambing in March.
