Small Ruminant Essentials: Forages & Herd Health

At this workshop, we’ll be out in the field working with live goats as we cover the essentials on herd health, management, and forages; no PowerPoint, just practical skills you can take back to the farm.

Come out and learn all about the fundamentals of small ruminant care from Clemson Extension specialists Dr. Patty Scharko, Maggie Miller, and Hannah Conover.
