FAMACHA Training
For those of you interested in learning more about FAMACHA, there is a training at the Johnston County Livestock Arena at 520 County Home Rd, Smithfield. The training is free, but anyone wishing to be certified and receive a card must pay a $15 certification fee. Space is limited, so anyone wishing to attend must call 919-989-5380 to register. If you need more information please let me know.
For those of you who are not familiar with what FAMACHA is: this is a program used to help you decide if your sheep and / or goats are becoming anemic from too many parasites in their bellies. The class also covers information on what dewormers to use, dosages, and much more. Great for the sheep and goat producer.
Please pass this information along to your co-workers, friends, and family members.
If you would like more information, you can call the number above or you can contact me at Margaret Bell at (252) 633.1477. Thanks!
