Pasture Walk at McKowen Farms

Sheep people, we have an event for you! Thinking about adding sheep to your operation? This one is for you too! 

Join us in Jackson, La. for an evening of:

 - RFID ewe/lamb matching

- Great Plains Tillage Machine Presentation

- Bird Field Tour 

Learn the impact of RFID ewe/ lamb matching using a computer program written by a fellow sheep Rancher from Texas Gene Edmiston. True Test rep, Stewart Milton, will be there to demonstrate the  program and answer questions about the process. This will be followed by a tillage machine demonstration from a local representative.  The family also plants bird friendly fields with  iron clay peas, sunflowers and millet which attract wildlife and then can be grazed in fall.

Dinner will be provided, so please RSVP so we can get a proper headcount. The event is free to attend and you will recieve further details as the date approaches.
