Let’s Talk Ticks: What Every Livestock Producer Needs to Know

  • Wednesday, March 12, 2025, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

CCE Tompkins will hold an in-person watch-along of this event by CCE Allegany County:

Ticks have been on the rise in New York and a new tick in town is raising the stakes even further. More ticks in more places increases your risk of tick encounters and the disease-causing pathogens they inject during their blood meal.

Joellen Lampman, Community IPM Extension Support Specialist from the NYS Integrated Pest Management Program will discuss what we know about the impacts of ticks and tick-borne diseases on livestock in New York, steps being taken to learn more, and what we might do to mitigate risks for our stock and ourselves.

Lynn Bliven, Ag & Natural Resources Issue Leader at CCE Allegany will lead discussion managing ticks in pastures, using a checklist of best tick management practices for livestock owners to reduce potential exposure.

Attendees will receive a Don’t Get Ticked New York kit for their farm. Kits contain tick removal equipment and identification cards. There is no fee, however preregistration is required as space is limited.

Fee

This event is free, however, donations help us keep future programming costs low for our community. Thank you for your continued support!
