CANTON — Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties are teaming up to present a program on raising bottle lambs and goat kids.

Many dairy goat producers raise their kids on the bottle intentionally because they are milking the goat mamas. Most sheep farmers raise a few every year because the mother ewe can’t raise them for some reason.

For example, there are too many lambs, an udder problem, lambs getting mixed up between mothers, or even because they are milking the sheep. Both situations will be covered. Topics include types of milk replacer, using milk replacer correctly, tricks to avoid bottle babies, warming lambs and kids, why you vaccinate your ewes/does, and more.

Gabby Wormuth from CCE Jefferson and Betsy Hodge, CCE St. Lawrence County will present the topics.

The webinar will be held Wednesday, March 31, at 7 pm. on Zoom. To register and receive the link, visit http://stlawrence.cce.cornell.edu.
