UC Davis Small Ruminant Research & Veterinary Extension

Hopland REC and UCCE are hosting another Virtual Fencing for Livestock Workshop on Friday, May 8.

Topics will include:
Targeted Grazing for Fire and W**d Control
Virtual Fence for Sheep
Leveraging NRCS Funding

Representatives from virtual fencing companies will also be there.

If you’re a dairy goat producer please consider taking this short survey. The results of this effort will help us understand current practices for internal and external parasite control as we prepare for future education events and recommendations for treatment and prevention of future pests such as New World Screwworm. https://shorturl.at/vjFjc

So grateful to who were able to join us today for the Goats and Gates small ruminant handling workshop. What a beautiful event. It was so moving to see so many people, from young and just beginning to those well into practice and still learning. Thank you for listening, observing, analyzing, and sharing your experiences with us.

This was such a cool project working with great colleagues and learning more about this bacteria that causes some great production limiting challenges for sheep and goats as the agent that causes caseous lymphadenitis (CL). Congratulations to all involved on this achievement.
