The webinars will also explain genetic markers that could identify sheep that are naturally resistant to the disease. Presenters will be Susan Schoenian from University of Maryland Extension and Dr. Richard Brzozowski from the University of Maine
February 21 and 28, 2012
7:00 to 8:00 PM

Will there be another event like this this year? I would love to learn how to treat foot diseases on farm animals. I am a farmer's daughter and a podiatrist too. :)
