Lambing and kidding season is a critical period for small ruminant producers, with direct effects on farm profitability. While many births proceed normally, complications can arise that threaten the well-being of both dam and offspring. 

This webinar will offer insights into identifying and managing complications across all stages: 

  • pre-partum
  • parturition
  • newborn care
  • postpartum ewe/doe management  

Participants will learn practical strategies to recognize early warning signs, intervene appropriately during difficult births, and implement effective postnatal care for both dams and kids/lambs.
