Dr. Jake Thorn, Extension Sheep and Goat Specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife recently visited with County Extension Agents Andy Hart and Mark Carroll about the possibility of diversifying sheep or goats with cattle in the Panhandle and South Plains area of Texas. The discussed topics related to economics, grazing preference and diversity, increased numbers of sheep, types of sheep, reproduction facts, challenges, etc. Gaurding animals were a big topic of discussion in dealing with predators and these included gaurding dogs, donkeys, and Llama. Predators and parasites are the biggest challenges along with fencing. What about goats? They get into that as well.
Excellent discussion regarding a growing topic of producers in the area. Thanks to Andy and Mark for recording this and Dr. Thorne for his expertise. Enjoy!
