Join Amy Barkley of the SWNYDLFC Team and Lynn Bliven of CCE Allegany for a comprehensive, hands-on FAMACHA training. We will review common internal parasites of sheep and goats, anti-parasitic drug classes and the use of Integrated Pest Management to reduce resistance in parasite populations, and pasture management for optimal forage production and limiting of potential parasite burdens.
Students who successfully complete the training will be provided with a FAMACHA Card that they will be able to use to check anemia scores in their flocks and herds.

Time: 4:00pm - 6:30pm
Where: Mitrowski House Farm, Machias NY.
