As breeding season gets underway, Southeast Kansas sheep and goat producers are preparing their herds for a successful lambing and kidding season next spring. Proper nutrition, herd health, and breeding management are all key to improving reproductive success.

Wildcat Extension District Agent Adaven Rohling says one of the biggest differences between managing sheep and goats during breeding season is their mineral program.

Taking time to prepare now can help improve conception rates and lead to healthier offspring in the spring.
