University of Maine Cooperative Extension in collaboration with the Oaklands farm and the University of Vermont Extension will offer a dairy sheep mobile parlor and milk quality workshop. Attendees will learn about and see a dairy sheep mobile milking system in action. In addition, there will be a discussion on milk quality and parlor audits. The program is designed for dairy farmers and agricultural service providers interested in learning about mobile parlors and milk quality in small ruminants.<\/p>\n

The host farm was a recipient of a grant funded by the Northeast Dairy Business Innovation Center.<\/p>\n
