RAMSTEAD RANCH’S 2014 HANDS-ON LAMBING SCHOOL
Saturday April 12, 8:30am to 4:30pm
Ramstead Ranch’s lambing season is coming up fast and
you're invited! Spend a day in the middle of lambing season with our 43
breeding ewes and their newborn lambs.
Melissa Lines from SkyLines Farm in Harvard, ID will
be our guest instructor. She’s been hosting Lambing School at her own
farm since 2006 (www.skylinesfarm.com).
Melissa will draw from her 20+ years of successful sheep breeding to present a
fun and educational day of discussion, demonstration, and hands-on experience
in lambing time management. You’ll go home with a wealth of ideas, inspiration,
and a model for your own successful sustainable sheep operation!
Topics include: Breeding considerations; Managing
& feeding pregnant ewes; Lambing supplies to have on hand; Stages of labor
& when to intervene; Normal & abnormal deliveries; Care of the newborn
lamb, banding tails, castrating & ear-tagging lambs; Managing bottle lambs;
Ewe udder management; Lambing facilities & equipment...and much more
(including of course lots of lamb cuddling!)
