Sheep, goat producers being surveyed on trends

    The Extension Small Ruminant Team at South Dakota State University (SDSU) is seeking input from sheep and goat producers across the U.S. to identify producer interests and enhance future Extension efforts.
    Survey responses will be compiled into a Sheep and Goat Producers Needs Assessment.
    “Across the nation many producers have adapted to the ever-changing dynamics of today’s world. Extension professionals have also experienced significant transformations in educational programming and find it critical to remain in sync with producers and colleagues across the United States,” said Kelly Froehlich, Assistant Professor and SDSU Extension Specialist in Small Ruminant Production.
    The nationwide response is hoped by Extension officials to add value by identifying collective producer strengths and struggles to cooperatively strengthen  program efforts in South Dakota and across the United States,” Froehlich says.  
     The survey is voluntary, confidential and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Alternatively, printed surveys can be sent by mail upon request.
