  • HOW TO

Robert Walker started with sheep in 2010 and the desire to learn and grow in the sheep industry has brought up questions I am sure everyone has had. This podcast is an opportunity to share conversations with those mentors, breeders, owners, veterinarians, vendors, judges, and people that have provided the support to the sheep industry over the years. Mostly I am interested in listening and learning how others began in the industry with thoughts on the future in whatever that interest, business or passion is, so join me as I continue to learn with “SheepThings!” podcast.

    Episode 38 - Advantage Feeders - Evie Gates

    In this episode we have a manufacturing rep on with me to discuss the Advantage Feeder and the use of it with small ruminants. A lot of sheep producers have purchased these units over the last several years since they have been introduced into the US so join us as we go over the units, how they work and why they work. We also recorded video and have it published on the SheepThings YouTube Channel as well as on the website www.sheepthings.com. Please like and subscribe to my channel in the platform of your choice!

    S2E10 - Laura Fortmeyer Part 2 - Katahdin Breed Association Evolution

    The one you all have been waiting for!  Laura Fortmeyer from central Kansas maybe one of the few people alive that has been involved with the Katahdin breed before the breed association was established.  She is going to tell her story from those times while working with Heifer International through the formation of the Katahdin Hair Sheep International and the years that followed.  We are so thankful for the opportunity to document her story.  Don't pay any attention to the sound issues, we didn't realize we had the mic setup wrong until after we had recorded and left so we edited it the best we can.  Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy!
