sheep and goat webinars

We are again following a series of webinars from the University of Maryland - this Winter they are on Sheep and Goat Nutrition and Feeding. They are free and everybody can join... you only have to get up at 1.30 am once a week (at least when you live in Slovakia).
We are feeding alfalfa silage, grass hay and a commercial sheep concentrate (mainly cereals and a mineral mixture). We don't exactly now how balanced this is since our silage and hay hasn't been analyzed. However both goats and sheep are doing very well - growing bigger every week..... baby-watch has started - three weeks to go!




Our sheep eating alfalfa silage - they love it!

Late

Sometimes I am a bit late with adopting new technology. I haven't yet embraced the so called 'social media' like Facebook and Twitter. Tonight I will experience something new (for me) in the age of the internet. I will participate in a webinar on late gestation. This webinar will focus on the feeding and management of the pregnant female (sheep/goat) during her last month of pregnancy. I am very curious how this will be. Haven't been participating in seminars or collages for at least two years because of living - how will I say it - at the end of the world. If this webinar-thing works fine I will be going for many more. Never too old to learn more about livestock management.
It will be a long night..... the webinar is scheduled in the evening in the USA so somewhere after midnight in Slovakia.
