SUMMARY:Laying the Foundation for Healthy Sheep and Goats
DESCRIPTION:The keys to successful animal husbandry are maintaining a safe enriching environment\, feeding appropriate types and quantities of food\, and providing necessary medical care. In this presentation I will expand on these three areas. People contemplating getting sheep/goats will come away with an understanding of how to avoid some of the pitfalls experienced by many new owners. People who have had sheep/goats for awhile will hopefully come away with some information to boost the health level of their flock/herd. \n  \nDr Dennis Thibeault received his BS in Biology from Fairfield University and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Michigan State University in 1994.  He started Green Valley Veterinary Services in Mansfield CT in 2008.
