SUMMARY:Sustainable management of internal parasites in sheep and goats in the upper Midwest and Northeastern USA 4 Part WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:The four sessions will be held via Zoom at 7:00 pm on Tuesday evenings – June 2\, 9\, 16\, and 23.  These will be approximately 1 hour long each\, with a question and answer portion for each session.  They will be recorded and posted prior to the next session\, so you may view them later.  All 4 sessions for $25. Please see the session titles below.\n\n\nAs the weather starts warming\, parasites become a major challenge for sheep and goat production.  It is important to develop an effective and sustainable parasite control program which is specific to each farm’s unique circumstances\, reducing animal health and productivity losses while also minimizing drug resistance issues.\n\nTo address this issue\, the MSU Small Ruminant Team will be hosting a 4-part webinar called “Sustainable management of internal parasites in sheep and goats in the upper Midwest and Northeast USA”.\n\n\n\nSession 1:  June 2 (all sessions at 7:00 pm via Zoom) \nParasites of major health and economic impact in sheep and goats\, and basics of their lifecycles \nSession 2:  June 9 \nFactors that determine risk of parasite infection and grazing management strategies \nSession 3:  June 16 \nControl and infection monitoring approaches: effective use of drugs\, maintenance of refugia\, FAMACHA and fecal egg counting monitoring programs.  \nSession 4:  June 23 \nPutting it all together: developing a successful sustainable integrated parasite control program for your farm.   \n\n\n\nRegistration is $25 per household.  Please register at:   https:/commerce.cashnet.com/msu_3645Click on the MSU Extension – Small Ruminant link.  After registration\, you will be sent a link to access the webinars via Zoom. \n\n\nContact Erin Recktenwald at ebr@msu.edu with any questions.\nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook

SUMMARY:Pasture Management - Graziers’ Toolbox w/ Sarah Flack (Part 3) - FACT Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join FACT (Food Animal Concerns Trust) and grazing expert Sarah Flack for part 3 of a 3-part series on strategies for pasture management.  \nThis session will discuss tools and strategies for pasture improvement.  \nEach session in this series requires a separate registration. Register  (registration link also given under event website) \n  \n\n\n\n\nPart 3: The Graziers’ Toolbox – Strategies for Pasture Improvement\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 3\, 2020 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (Eastern Time)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin FACT and grazing expert Sarah Flack for part 3 of a 3-part series on strategies for pasture management. This session will discuss tools and strategies for pasture improvement.\n \nThis final session will let us put together what we learned in the first two\, and talk about how we can meet livestock  needs while also using their grazing behavior to improve the  pastures. How can we use higher or lower stocking densities\, taller or shorter pre-grazing heights and decisions on how long to leave livestock in the paddock and how much to let them trample it\, or how short to let them graze it as tools to improve pastures so we can avoid expensive inputs and reseeding? By better understanding\, and using these “graziers tools” we can change the pasture plant species composition\, pasture productivity & quality\, soil health\, and livestock performance.  \n\nSarah Flack\, author of The Art and Science of Grazing\, & Organic Dairy Production\, is a nationally known speaker & consultant on grazing and organic livestock. She grew up on a Vermont family farm that used management-intensive grazing and mob stocking\, later studying pasture management at the University of VT. Her approach as a consultant\, writer & speaker is to take a practical approach to applying the science of grazing. Sarah has successfully helped many farmers create positive change in their pastures\, soils\, livestock\, finances\, & farm-family quality of life.    \n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook
