Traffic Pattern Change: Please disregard the instructions in the Clover Connection newsletter. After entering the Ranch through the south entrance, we ask that members turn right at Gate 6 just to the east of the McKee Building.

After members load their animals after being tagged, they will also exit out of Gate 6.

With the change in weather coming this weekend I would like to remind everyone of responsible management practices. It is likely that animals can experience some discharge from their nose with this sudden change in temperature and even develop some respiratory issues. Being proactive in this situation, I would recommend members blanket any market animals to help keep them warm in the colder temperatures during the evening and early morning hours. I would also like to remind you of the importance of providing dry bedding underneath your shelter where animals can lay to get out of the wind. 

I would also like to invite you to the second workshop for the Sheep/Goat workshop series coming up Monday, May 23, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. in the warm-up arena at the Ranch. We invite you to bring your animals to start with some basic showmanship techniques. We will have additional information that will be covered at the beginning of the workshop so please be prepared for your animals to be tied up for a short duration while we discuss some other material. If your animal is displaying any signs of illness, please avoid bringing them. 

If you have any questions please reach out to me or any of the project key leaders.
