Episodio 161. Manejo integrado de plagas en rebaños de Idaho

Facilitado por:

In this episode of Voices from the Field, NCAT Livestock Specialist Dave Scott has a conversation with Caleb Pirc of Good Shepherd Farm in Meridian, Idaho, about integrated pest-management strategies for their sheep operations. Dave, who, among other duties, works with NCAT’s ATTRA sustainable-agriculture program out of NCAT headquarters in Butte, Montana, is the co-owner of Montana Highland Lamb near Whitehall, Montana.

Caleb, who also is the director of governmental affairs for the Idaho Wool Growers Association, raises registered Katahdin. He and Dave talk about reducing parasites in their flocks through grazing strategies, selective deworming, and selecting for genetic resistance in their animals, including the use of the National Sheep Improvement Program’s Estimated Breeding Values.

We’d appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to complete a brief survey to let us know what you thought of the content we’ve presented here. For more information on this topic, you can contact Dave Scott directly at daves@ncat.org.
