According to Richard Cobb, U of I
Extension sheep specialist, the Mau family runs 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."
