Testimonials
I realised that having good information in one location from someone I can trust was far better than constantly trying to find information.
The other good thing about the courses is that they are New Zealand based and therefore the information is relevant to me.
I have found the courses to be very informative. They not only cover topics that help you keep your animals happy and healthy but also cover legal requirements which, when it comes to cattle, are very important to know.
by Katie
Really great, love how it is broken into smaller modules and can work on at your own pace. Really helpful tips, especially the visuals or videos attached.
Since completing the course we have added shelter for the flock, a foot trough in the yards and a ramp for getting sheep onto a trailer all which have made it easier to manage the animals.
It's a very easy and informative way to learn a lot about your animals or even if you are considering getting some it will give you a good idea of what to expect.
by Cam
Very easy to follow and quite comprehensive. It covers so much and some topics that I hadn’t though of or found much info on.
Being able to go back and redo parts of the course is very helpful plus the fact that I can go back at anytime and refresh my memory is most helpful…at my age 😊
The course is great for new herd owners and also, I believe that experienced herd owners will find a few things in it that they might have forgotten or not known.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who owns or plans to own cattle.
