For those of us that had no Earthly idea what a "Ruminant" is...

According to AI: A Small Ruminant Program is an educational event or outreach effort focused on animals like goats and sheep, known as small ruminants. These programs offer helpful information for producers, such as best practices in herd health, breeding, nutrition, parasite control, and managing working animals like livestock guardian dogs. They're a great resource for anyone raising or interested in raising goats or sheep. 

Now, we all know.
