hiya, dont know of any calf rearing courses or where abouts you are in the country. However, before i bought my first 2 calves i spent loads of time visiting friends with Dairys who calf rear and asked hundreds of questions. Spoke to all the local cattle farmers and gleaned as much information as possible. Also most importantly, found a few local farms where i could buy calves from which came from a closed herd and were BVD free etc etc. Good luck!!
