So. MD Lambing & Kidding Workshop
The Southern Maryland Meats program of SMADC and the University of Maryland Extension are partnering to offer a series of workshops dedicated to Sheep and Goat production here in Southern Maryland.
"Lambing and Kidding - Before, During and After", the second workshop in the Small Ruminant series, will include the preparation, nutrition and care of ewes/does through gestation to birthing and aftercare of ewes/does and newborn lambs/kids, as well as facilities and related equipment. Using models to simulate and demonstrate certain situations, workshop attendees will be guided through a normal birthing process and how to assist with difficult births. Presenters will discuss vaccinations, peri-parturient egg rise and health issues in late pregnancy. How to deal with aftercare problems including retained placenta, poor mothering, weak babies, hypothermia and neonatal care (tube feeding and artificial rearing) will also be covered. The workshop is co-presented by Susan Schoenian, UME Sheep and Goat Specialist and Enrique Nelson Escobar Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Small Ruminant Extension Specialist, University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Both bring a wealth of knowledge, research and practical experience to their presentations. Experienced producers, as well as beginners and youth exploring what’s involved in raising sheep and goats are encouraged to attend. A Workshop fee of $15 includes all materials and a catered lunch. As a meal is provided, registration is requested by January 8, 2018. To register, click HERE. For more information call Susan McQuilkin: (301) 274-1922, Ex. 1, or email: smcquilkin@smadc.com

Really detailed breakdown on late-gestation management and preparing for lambing season. Working those long, late-night shifts out in a chilly barn during lambing requires comfortable, durable layers. Having a cozy pullover like the Gap x Katseye Yoonchae Grey Hoodie under a heavy work jacket makes a huge difference when doing late checks in the cold. Thanks for sharing these practical steps!
This is a very informative post for anyone interested in lambing and kidding. Workshops like these are a great way to help both beginners and experienced farmers improve their knowledge and animal care practices. I especially liked how the information is presented in a practical and easy-to-understand way. Learning directly from experienced professionals can make a huge difference in managing livestock successfully. I enjoy reading educational blogs like this, just as I enjoy exploring trusted health resources such as Healthmedsrx for reliable healthcare information. Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping build a knowledgeable farming community. Looking forward to reading more useful posts like this.
