UW Extension to offer lamb webinars

On March 17, the University of Wyoming Extension Sheep Task Force will host a free webinar about managing flock health around lambing season. The webinar, which is the first of two episodes, will discuss strategies for mitigating ewe and lamb stress from late gestation through docking.

The second webinar will be hosted March 26. Both webinars will be 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Zoom. The March 17 webinar will cover colostrum and orphan lamb management and the March 26 will address metabolic stress of ewes through late gestation and early lactation.

The sessions will be led by members of the UW Extension Sheep Task Force and feature guests from the industry. To register for the webinar, visit https://bit.ly/uwyo-sheep-26. A Zoom link will be emailed to participants after registration.
