A practical look at management at lambing aimed at novices.
The course will cover:

- signs of impending lambing, assistance, lambing routine, importance of colostrum, stomach tubing
- vet care - lambs - hypothermia, watery mouth, scours and congenital defects
- orphan lamb - fostering and artificial rearing
- lambing technique using 2 simulators
- castrating and tailing
9.30 to 3.30, cost £95 including lunch, eligible for LMO funding (but you would already need to have selected the training option on your LMO form - I've added that bit in)
