Ohio Sheep Improvement Association and Ohio State University Extension Announce Sheep and Goat WebEx Series
In a coordinated effort, the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association and Ohio State University Extension are pleased to sponsor and announce the 2012 Sheep and Goat WebEx Series. The Sheep and Goat WebEx Series will replace the “District” Sheep and Goat Program series which was started in 2001. The 2012 Sheep and Goat WebEx Series will concentrate on Sheep and Goat Health Programs and we will be offering a wide variety of health related topics and speakers in several extension offices across the state of Ohio. In 2012, we are offering fourteen (14) Sheep and Goat WebEx sites, one (1) live site and thirteen (13) remote sites which sheep and goat farmers can attend to get updated on sheep and goat health programs.
The Sheep and Goat WebEx series will assist sheep and goat farmers become better managers of their operations and provide advice that those interested in entering a growing industry need to succeed. The four (4) session sheep and goat WebEx series can be viewed 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. (EST) on February 6, 13, 20, and 27, 2012 at various Ohio State University Extension program sites. Check with your county extension office to find the location nearest you.
“There
are a lot of beginner and experienced sheep and goat producers in Ohio, and
this WebEx Series will give them information on health related subjects to
assist them in being successful with their sheep and goat operations” states
Roger A. High, OSU Sheep Extension Program Specialist and coordinator of the
WebEx program series. The WebEx series
was developed in response to getting more information to sheep and goat farmers
as well as reducing the expenses related to programming due to travel and other
cost recovery expenses. “We can conduct
these WebEx programs at a much lower cost than sending multiple speakers
running across the state of Ohio to speak to our sheep and goat farmers” states
High.
