Genetic selection—proficient with National Sheep Improvement Program, estimated breeding values, and selection for economically important traits, meeting market demand; cross-breeding strategies. Impact: the right genetics can improve health, growth, marketability, maternal ability and more.

Parasite control—year-round control programs for worm and protozoan parasites, fecal egg counts, FAMACHA, dewormers and alternatives, genetic selection, improved nutrition and management. Impact: the right parasite control program can save lives, reduce need to deworm, improve growth and reproductive efficiency and more.

Health management—vaccines, prevention, assist with health and mineral testing protocols; must have pre-established veterinary-client relationship. Impact: minimizing disease leads to reduced animal losses and improved production.

Grazing systems—grazing management to match flock goals, solar, rotational, environmental services, grass-fed systems.

Organic, regenerative, and animal welfare certification guidance. Impact: improve understanding of and meeting guidelines.

Breeding and reproduction—out-of-season or accelerated breeding; matching breeding with flock health; mitigation of vector-borne diseases that reduce lambing rate. Impact: improve pregnancy and lambing rate, reduce incidence of infectious or metabolic disease affecting lambing and more.

Assistance with grant writing and implementation—experience with Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education grants to conduct on-farm research.

Smart Technologies—understanding how to make them work for your farm.

Available as an invited speaker in any of these areas of expertise.
