Small Ruminant Webinars

 

A webinar is a seminar presented through the world wide web. All you need to participate is a computer with an internet connection. High speed internet access is recommended. Interaction is via a chat box. Most webinars are recorded, and the recordings are uploaded to YouTube (or some other similar). The University of Maryland Small Ruminant Extension Program has been doing webinars since 2011.  Links to recordings and accompanying PowerPoint presentations are posted here. Webinar offerings have increased substantially due to Covid 19.
