A collaborative project between the Alberta Lamb Producers and Alberta Goat Breeders Association, funded by the Diversified Livestock Fund of Alberta, has produced three comprehensive modules on the topics of reproduction, nutrition, and health of sheep and goats in Alberta.

Reproduction, Health and Nutrition modules are available by clicking on the links below. These modules will be available for purchase on CD and in limited print format in the near future, but, in order to conserve resources; we encourage producers to use the online version.
