Sheep Handling & Flock Management Workshop

Come spend a morning with our flock Join our livestock team for a hands-on sheep handling workshop and learn what it takes to build and manage a productive breeding flock. You’ll help us catch, handle, and sort our ewes while gaining practical experience with safe and efficient sheep handling techniques. What you’ll learn We’ll walk through the decisions that shape a successful sheep operation, from breeding goals and animal selection to flock management and business strategy. You’ll learn what we look for when evaluating ewes, how genetics shape a flock over time, and how everyday management choices affect both animal performance and the bottom line. At Juneberry Ridge, our sheep are an important part of our regenerative farming system. Through rotational grazing and thoughtful flock management, we use livestock to improve the health of our land while producing high-quality food. This class offers a behind-the-scenes look at how animal husbandry, land management, genetics, and business all come together on a working farm. Who should attend This class is perfect for anyone interested in raising sheep, improving an existing flock, starting a small livestock operation, or simply wanting to better understand the work that goes into producing quality lamb. You’ll learn not just how we handle sheep, but why we make the decisions we do. What to expect Come ready to get involved, ask questions, and get your hands on some sheep. This is a practical, real-world experience designed to give you a better understanding of what it takes to manage sheep well. What to bring Sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots, comfortable clothes appropriate for working outside, and a willingness to get your hands dirty! Where to meet 9752 Farm and Fresh Dr, Norwood, NC 28128. Up next Want to keep learning? Join us Wednesday, November 11 for our Lamb Harvest Workshop, the next in our livestock series.
