If anyone local has sheep or goats and would like to learn more about the care and management of their animals this is a great day out.

I will be doing a lamb butchering demonstration to showcase what can be done at home with a lamb using basic equipment.

Learn about disease, parasites, nutrition and care as well as the new NLIS requirements coming into place.
