According to Richard Cobb, U of I Extension sheep specialist, the
Mau family run 48 mature Rambouillet and Dorset ewes and their lambs
on 7.5 acres of intensively managed pasture.
"Mau will discuss his plans for late fall and winter grazings and
how he is able to maintain the ewe flock on grass for the majority
of the year," said Cobb. "In addition, he will discuss his plans for
the future concerning the pasture and a direct marketing program."
