Her farm name is Stubby Acres, where she breeds not only Cardis but miniature sheep. She has had great success in solving reproductive issues for other breeders. You will learn what you need to know and to have on hand to solve routine first aid issues. Even long time Cardi owners may learn a trick or two. Let’s give Lauren a warm welcome.
