Episode 262. She’s Raising Sheep: Minnesota Shepherd Janet McNally  

This episode of Voices from the Field continues ATTRA’s podcast series “She’s Raising Sheep.” In it, Minnesota shepherd Janet McNally shares her story with NCAT Regenerative Livestock Specialist Linda Poole.

Janet has conquered some of the biggest challenges a shepherd might face – drought, tornados, wildfires, Arctic-class winters, wolves, parasites, and more. Janet’s tales, which are in turn harrowing, enlightening, and entertaining, are chock-full of information and inspiration for pasture-based graziers.
