Fall Lambing Field Day

Where: 1587 Hwy 102, New Sharon, Iowa 50207

When: Saturday, October 26, 2024 from 10:00AM-noon

What:  The light lamb market in the winter has been consistently good over the last few years.  One way to reach that market is with fall lambing.  Spring breeding for fall lambing can create some logistical challenges since many sheep are not naturally cycling during that time.

We will tour an accelerated lambing flock that should be lambing at that time.  Items that will be discussed will include lighting and flushing protocols to increase the chances of spring breeding for fall lambing, tour production facilities, discuss self-feeding ground forage in the lambing barn, marketing decisions for fall born lambs, etc.

RSVP: please RSVP to info@iowasheep.com by Wednesday, October 23 so we can plan for parking and food.  Lunch will be provided by the Iowa Sheep Industry Association and their annual meeting will be following this event.

Other: Attendees must have clean laundered cloths and only clean footwear not worn in a sheep production area.  All attendees must wear provided plastic boots to assist with biosecurity measures in the production area.  No pets, trailers, or other livestock are allowed on the premises.  Restrooms will likely not be available, so please plan accordingly.
