The program will start at 7:30 p.m. and end by 9 p.m. CST. These meetings can be taken from your home using a computer, a phone, or at your local extension office using Zoom technology. Check with your extension office if they plan to host. Zoom meetings allow for more natural interaction between the presenters and participants and provide an opportunity to ask questions and have a discussion with other online users. “We are excited to bring back this type of remote education for sheep producers across Wisconsin,” said Todd Taylor, UW Madison Shepherd. These webinars are a new spin from the long-standing and widespread sheep ETN meetings that retired Dr. Dave Thomas, sheep specialist, hosted during his tenure at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Tom Murphy will be joining as May’s guest speaker and will be discussing how to use Estimated Breeding Values to select more profitable sheep. Dr. Murphy is a research geneticist with the USDA ARS at the Roman L. Hruska Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, Nebraska. His research program investigates breed and other genetic effects that influence the performance, health, and meat and wool quality of sheep in intensive and extensive production systems.
