19 November 2009 - Ewes in our new claiming pens made from hog panels held together with simple connectors. Ewes lamb in the large pen to the left and flow through the pens to the mixing pen on the right, minimizing labor needed to move ewes and their lambs. The panels for these pens are inepensive and light weight compared to panels made from lumber. They make it easier to observe a ewe and her lambs.

Abundant rainfall for forage production and
a large population consuming sheep products in the eastern United
States makes this area an ideal location for sheep farming. This
and the companion web site about marketing (http://www.sheepgoatmarketing.info/)
are designed to help farmers take advantage of the opportunity
to develop or expand sheep farms in the region.
Beef cattle and goats can also take advantage of the forage production in the region. Click on the following links for information from Cornell University:
