  • Best In Depth Small Ruminant Podcast Out There

    There are many podcasts put on by breeders who often host vets, but none others I know of that are solely vet based. Baa’s and bleat’s is also in a language the serious goat producer can understand and implement. Keep up the great work, I’m looking forward to future podcasts!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Range Sheep and Guardian Dogs with Dr. Jake Thorne
Q: How should producers approach guardian dogs for flock protection?
Start bonding puppies with the flock in a dedicated period (6-16 weeks) to establish a strong social bond, and consider using a bonding pen to ensure early exposure and training.
Range Sheep and Guardian Dogs with Dr. Jake Thorne
Q: What are the most promising tools for improving parasite resistance in small ruminants?
Fecal egg counts to identify resistant animals, selective breeding using estimated breeding values, and DNA-based pedigree information in multi-sire systems are among the most promising tools, complemented by careful nutrition and management.
Range Sheep and Guardian Dogs with Dr. Jake Thorne
Q: What is the role of veterinarians and extension agents in a producer's flock management?
Extension agents can be integral partners in health management, pasture planning, and feeding strategies, providing regional insights and helping connect producers with veterinary care and data-driven practices.
Dairy Goat Sustainability with Jenn Bentley
Q: Could you describe your background and how you got to where you are today?
Jenn describes growing up on a dairy farm, completing a two-year dairy herd management program, earning a BS in Dairy Science, and advancing to an ISU Extension dairy field specialist role in 2010, with a focus on young stock management and broader dairy herd practices.
Rethinking FAMACHA with Dr. Isabelle Louge
Q: What practical steps do you recommend for producers right now?
Use FAMACHA as a screening tool but pair it with fecal egg counts before deworming decisions, perform a fecal egg count reduction test after treatment, and incorporate other clinical indicators like hematocrit, total protein, body condition, and ectoparasite checks for a holistic assessment.
