Cornell Cow Convos-Episode 6

Many farms and properties that people inherit or purchase come with existing structures that can be used for livestock. This free webinar shares how to evaluate these barns for small ruminant use, particularly old dairy barns. When starting out raising livestock, the easiest and least expensive housing is the housing already on the property. For many, this means the use of facilities previously used to house dairy cows. Many of these older buildings are not well ventilated and may need upgrades to make them suitable places for keeping sheep and goats. 

Hear from a wide variety of presenters on NYS grant and low-interest loan programs for farms & food-based businesses.

This virtual seminar will feature film industry experts on how to "market" your property and its use in the film and TV industry. As well as, how to prepare and what to expect should a company crew utilize the farm. $10 to attend.
