Fiber School + FAMACHA training

As of this morning, we’ve got just a spot or two each for Fiber & Felt Schools. If you still want to attend, put a wiggle in it!

I’m really excited that Kansas State Extension is offering FAMACHA training sessions in September. I talked about it a while back. It’s a way of monitoring worm loads by the color of the animal’s inner eyelid. Pale eyelids indicate anemia (likely from a high worm load), so you can treat just animals who are more susceptible to worms & leave the others, thus reducing the overall chemical resistance of your worm population. Neat, huh? The session goes from 5.30 to 9pm an includes a FAMACHA scoring card for $15.

If you keep sheep or goats and you’re not too far from Burlington (9/29 Coffee Co. fairgrounds), Salina (9/22 Saline Co. fairgrounds), or Dodge City (9/8 Ford Co. fairgrounds), you might want to attend. You need to register & I have the flyer in pdf, so if you need it, just leave a comment or email me.
