What makes Openherd different?

Openherd exists to support the success of the family farm by providing easy, affordable online marketing tools under one roof.

Openherd is unique because our easy-to-use system is built specifically for farmers to help them market their animals and products online, giving you the feel of a custom built website without the high costs and technological headache.

Many farms have tried to set up their own websites and struggled with systems that are too complicated or have wasted a lot of money on a custom website that's equally as expensive to update. That's because these companies don't understand what farmers need or care about what they're trying to achieve.

We understand farmers - why you love what you do - and how to connect you to the customers who are looking for what you have.

Our system not only includes an amazing custom website as the central piece of your marketing but also unparalleled exposure on our national marketplace, and the ability to market on a breed or regional association website - all from one set of edits!

Openherd has been serving family farms since 2007 and we've helped thousands of farms "get over the hump" in their online marketing by helping them sell the things they love creating, so they can live free of the 9-5!

Every farm should be able to promote themselves easily and effectively without it costing a lot of money or being overwhelming.

If you're tired of expensive, complicated marketing that lacks results, then give Openherd a try today!

West Nile Virus in Camelids and Other Differentials

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a leading cause of mosquito-borne viral diseases in the United States. This is a progressive disease that is seen to largely affect horses and humans but has also been known to infect camelids. While vaccinations have not yet been developed specifically for camelids, research points toward the possibility of using the equine vaccine for camelids. This discussion aims to briefly describe WNW, highlight current research, and list other diseases that may look like WNV. Questions will be gladly answered afterward. Presented by Dr. Jennifer Sexton who is currently a clinician at Washington State University, in Ag Animal Medicine Surgery. She completed an internship and residency in Farm Animal Internal Medicine at the University of Tennessee, after graduating with her DVM from Purdue University.
