You only need to save 1 calf or prevent 1 call-out to pay for this - Handy tips guaranteed!
This is not just aimed at beginners, but for everybody involved in calving cows.
The workshop will start at 10:30am with a presentation, followed by a hands-on practical session after lunch.
We will cover areas including:-
- Different stages of a normal calving
- When to interfere
- Reasons of calving problems
- How to deal with them
- Common problems after calving
In the practical session, you will get to identify and correct different presentations on a calving simulator, using real calves.
Due to the practical aspect (we have 2 simulators), we will limit the places to 6-8 people, so everyone will get enough practice.
The cost will be £75 + VAT per person, including lunch.
All FarmSkills courses are taught in groups of 6-8, to allow everyone to get the most from the course. The trainers are Lantra approved and all delegates will receive a FarmSkills certificate on completion of the course.
