SUMMARY:New World Screwworm in the United States: Guidance from the American Sheep Industry Association
DESCRIPTION:There are now confirmed cases of New World Screwworm (NWS) in the United States. The American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) has published important guidance for sheep producers on how to prepare for it\, implement risk reduction\, and treat it.  \n\n\n\nAt this special webinar\, Dr. Rosie Busch\, who co-authored ASI’s guide with Dr. Cynthia Wolf\, will walk us through that guidance and explain how to stay updated on NWS developments. Dr. Busch will also discuss where graziers can find information on interstate animal movement requirements in their states. \n\n\n\nFollowing Dr. Busch’s discussion\, Dr. Jake Thorne from Texas A&M Agrilife Extension will provide updates on how NWS is affecting Texas.  \n\n\n\nFinally\, Dr. Hannah Varnell will cover guardian dog treatments\, and Texas solar grazier Chad Raines (Key Farms) will discuss how he is communicating with solar industry clients about NWS. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is for informational purposes only and does not replace the need for on-site veterinary expertise.  \n\n\n\nPlease consult Screwworm.gov for the latest updates from the USDA. This is an important and evolving issue that every grazier should be aware of. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew World Screwworm in the United States: Guidance from the American Sheep Industry AssociationTuesday\, June 30th\, at 8:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://luma.com/79zqd7qn

SUMMARY:Empire State Supreme Ewe Show
DESCRIPTION:The Empire State Supreme Ewe Show is a new statewide event celebrating the best breeding ewes from across New York. Hosted by Orleans County Cornell Cooperative Extension\, the show will bring together champion animals from county fairs and livestock shows for a final competition at the end of the fair season. \n\n\n\nThe inaugural show will take place September 13\, 2026 at the Orleans County Fairgrounds in Albion\, New York\, in conjunction with the Orleans County Fall Open Class Sheep Show. This creates a full weekend opportunity for exhibitors\, with the Open Class Sheep Show on September 12 followed by the Empire State Supreme Ewe Show on September 13. \n\n\n\nCounty fairs and livestock shows across New York are invited to participate by sending their Supreme Champion Ewe to represent their show. Preference will be given to champions from Open Shows. If a fair does not hold an Open Show\, priority will shift to 4-H champions. \n\n\n\nChampions will compete for Supreme and Reserve Supreme honors\, with banners\, rotating trophies\, and cash prizes awarded. \n\n\n\nThis event is designed to celebrate the hard work of exhibitors\, highlight quality breeding stock\, and bring together the New York sheep community to cap off the fair season. \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://cce.cornell.edu/orleans/empire-state-supreme-ewe-show \n\n\n\n\nRSVP

SUMMARY:RE+ 2026
DESCRIPTION:RE+ brings the modern energy industry together to meet the power demands of the future. What began as Solar Power International (SPI) has evolved into RE+\, uniting an extensive alliance of renewable energy leaders for multiple days of programming and networking opportunities\, while showcasing a resilient industry. As the largest and most comprehensive event in North America for the clean energy industry\, RE+ incorporates business opportunities and education content across energy sectors\, including solar\, energy storage\, hydrogen\, microgrids\, EV charging and infrastructure\, and wind energy. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDeveloped by the nation’s leading clean energy organizations\, the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA)\, RE+ reflects an ongoing entrepreneurial approach to renewing best practices across the clean energy landscape as the marketplace evolves. Unlike other industry events\, all proceeds from RE+ events support the expansion of the energy industry through SEIA and SEPA’s year-round research and education activities\, and extensive advocacy and advisory efforts. Our primary mission is to deliver on the missions of both SEIA and SEPA in a way that strengthens the industry domestically and globally\, through networking and education\, and by creating an energetic and engaging marketplace to connect buyers and suppliers. \n\n\n\nLas Vegas Convention Center 3150 Paradise RdLas Vegas\, NVUnited States \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://www.re-plus.com/ \n\n\n\n\nRSVP
