Survey on Cornell Sheep Program Research Priorities

Dear Sheep Farming Community,

Please click this link to complete a short (7 minute) survey about research priorities for the Cornell Sheep Program.

In September 2018 we concluded a 22-month sheep milking study on the Cornell campus with compelling results in the areas of:

• Accelerated lambing systems,
• Year-round sheep milk production,
• Reproductive success (conception rate and litter size) in intense management systems.

Preliminary results will be shared at the Cornell Sheep and Goat Symposium and the final results will be available online soon after that.

Stimulated by these results, we are looking into new research objectives and promising outcomes for more intense, forage based management systems for both MEAT AND DAIRY.

Please take the time to fill out this short (7 minute) survey to guide us on research priorities, with emphasis on topics you deem to be important for the success of your farming operation. We are also asking about details about your farming operation (already established or future) to be able to cluster your answers according to farm size and management system.

The submitted surveys are anonymized by the Qualtrics survey tool we are using, and at no point in the survey are we requesting information from you that could identify you or your business. We guarantee that your data will be handled anonymously.

Thank you very much for your participation, and we are looking forward to sharing our results with you!
