This course is designed for those thinking of taking on farm livestock for the first time or who already have a smallholding but want to learn more. The course will be held at the Common Leys Farm Campus. You will take part in theory and practical sessions making full use of the livestock technology centre. You will be able to get hands on practice with restraint and husbandry techniques of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. The college also has a poultry section so if this is your area of interest then keeping hens can be incorporated into the course. The barn is fitted with modern farming technology and you will be given a demonstration as to how it can benefit farmers on a small and large scale. No experience or knowledge is needed but if you do already have your own smallholding and want some advice and guidance this course is perfect for you.
