About the event
Iron Water Ranch will be hosting our lambing school in our lambing barn on January 23, 2021. Â We hope to give shepherds the confidence to handle problems and give them the tools to react and take some of the stress of lambing off their shoulders. Â With the combined knowledge of 3 generations of shepherds, we have seen almost every curveball that sheep can throw. Â We will be discussing topics such as:
- What is necessary in a lambing kit
- How to diagnose and treat problems (lamb & ewe)
- Ewe and lamb nutrition
- Lambing barn set up
- How and when to vaccinate
- Pregnant ewe care
- Responsible breeding decisions
- Lamb vaccinations, tail docking, ear tagging, castration
Cost is $90 per person and lunch will be provided! Â Please bring face masks/coverings. Â There will be plenty of space to social distance, but some activities require closer proximity. Â We want everyone to be safe!
We hope to have a great day! Â Bring your questions!
