After providing a log on name, please indicate where you are from, e.g. John Doe (Harford County)

Anyone with a connection to the internet can participate in one or more of the webinars.  High speed access is recommended. Interaction is via a chat box. The primary instructor for the webinars will be Susan Schoenian, Extension Sheep & Goat Specialist. All of the webinars will be recorded and available for future viewing.
