Webinars on Ethnic Marketing

The University of Maryland, the University of Maine, and Ohio State University are cooperating to hold a series of webinars on the ethnic marketing of lamb and mutton. The webinars are being supported by the American Sheep Industry Associations Let’s Grow with TwoPlus program. The series will also be applicable to goat producers, as the marketing of sheep and goats is similar.

An additional 30 minutes will be allowed for questions. Interaction will be via a chat box. Participants will be expected to actively participate through practical home assignments and activities.
