"I recently purchased 140 acres. I grew up on a small farm but haven’t been actively involved for 15 years. While I’m registered with MLA, LPA, and have a PIC, I was unsure where to start with biosecurity, animal health, and welfare. Courses like this are exactly what I’ve been searching for—practical, local, and supportive of new producers like me where I can meet my locals and have continued support when I need it."

✨ Take control of your livestock journey. Build your skills, make connections, and gain the confidence to manage your property with success.
