Another successful wet lab is in the books! SRC members were guided by Todd Taylor in sheep pregnancy detection, counting, as well as fetal aging in utero through the use of trans-abdominal ultrasound.

Learning about FAMACHA scoring related to parasite burden, hoof trimming, artificial insemination procedures, blood draw techniques, dental floating, and last but not least dairy goat management protocols all in one day? You goat to be kidding me! 🐐 SRC had the opportunity to learn from small ruminant veterinarian Dr. Chris Duemler about all of these interesting topics. Members practiced these skills and gained greater knowledge for use in their future career.

SRC had a wonderful time at Token Creek Alpacas last weekend, gaining some hands on experience in the care and management of alpacas, including meningeal worm prevention, hoof care, body condition scoring, and more! Thanks to Elden Harms for having us out!

SRC had a fun, informative, flock-filled evening yesterday at the UW-Madison Arlington Research Station. The Meet and Greet provided members with the chance to hear from the facility manager Todd Taylor speak about upcoming opportunities they can get involved with relating to sheep medicine and how they can gain more hands-on experience at the facility. Members also enjoyed a potluck with walking tacos as the main course. The event ended with a good ol’ friendly relay where members formed teams and performed tasks relating to sheep handling and husbandry. Teams haltered and flipped sheep, dipped navels, aged sheep by teeth appearance, and ended the relay with a water and goat cheese flip cup competition. 🧀 Thanks to all who joined! 🐑 See ewe at our next ewe-nique event!
