Sheep and Goat Internal Parasite Workshop with Fecal Egg Counts- $25
Raising sheep and goats requires effective management and prevention of internal parasites, which can significantly impact animal health and may even be fatal. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about various types of internal parasites and strategies to manage and reduce their occurrence.
Attendees will also be taught how to perform fecal egg counts and are encouraged to bring a sample from one of their animals to assess the potential parasite load in their current flock. All supplies will be provided.
The workshop will be led by Dr. Charles Estill, a veterinarian and professor at Oregon State University, and Hayley White, Willamette Livestock and Forages Agent with the OSU Extension Service. The exact location will be sent to registrants.
Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made by Jun 3, 2025 to Hayley White: hayley.white@oregonstate.edu or (971) 612-0027

Problematic Plants in Pastures Workshop with Plant ID- $5
Many pastures and rural areas have weeds that can be poisonous or harmful to livestock. In this class, we will learn to identify the most common toxic and problematic weeds and how to reduce them on your property with better weed and grazing management strategies.
We will have several real plant samples for people to look at, and participants are encouraged to bring in their own pasture weeds for identification. If you are unsure if the weed is toxic, wear long sleeves, long pants, and gloves when collecting your samples and bring them in a disposable bag.
Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made by Jun 4, 2025 to Melissa Fery: melissa.fery@oregonstate.edu or 541-730-3538
