We’re extremely excited to have Bill Costanzo, livestock researcher at Texas A&M AgriLife, as our guest speaker this year! Bill is a great guy and frequent guest on the Farm Dog podcast. His program is perhaps the only formal research effort helping farmers and ranchers find more success with livestock guardian dogs. His studies address the common on-the-ground challenges that goat and sheep producers face with their protection dogs.
How do I keep my dogs from wandering? How do I feed them out on the pasture? What’s the best way to bond them to the herd when they are puppies? How do I know if the dogs are doing good work? These topics and more are the focus of Bill’s professional life, and he’ll share his expertise with us on March 2 in West Des Moines.
