NDSU Sheep School Set for Dec. 2-3 in Bismarck

Sheep management, nutrition, breeding, new technology and other topics will be covered in a two-day sheep school scheduled for Thursday and Friday, Dec. 2 and 3, in Bismarck.

"The school’s broad focus makes it excellent training for new producers," says Tim Faller, director of the North Dakota State University Hettinger Research Extension Center. "The school also provides a thorough review for longtime producers. Included are updates and new technology and techniques that will be of help to nearly any producer."

Tuition is $25 per person or $35 for two people from the same operation. Tuition includes noon meals both days. Participation will be limited to the first 25 operations to enroll. The deadline to enroll is Friday, Nov. 26. The school will be held at the Burleigh County Extension Office. The NDSU Extension Service and Hettinger Research Extension Center are sponsoring the event.

To receive a registration packet or for more information on the school or housing, contact Faller at the NDSU Hettinger Research Extension Center, Box 1377, Hettinger, ND 58639, (701) 567-4323 or tfaller@ndsuext.nodak.edu.

The last day of the school will coincide with the opening of the North Dakota Lamb and Wool Producers’ annual sheep convention set for Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3 and 4. The convention will be held at the Seven Seas Motel and Convention Center in Mandan.
