Title: Sheep management and grassland management courses: Central Scotland
Post by: Rosemary on May 25, 2009, 08:38:29 pm

Central Scotland Smallholders Association, through Oatridge College, is running a sheep management course on Saturday 30th May, covering foot trimming, external and internal parasites, condition scoring and drawing lambs for slaughter.

We are also running a grassland management course on Saturday 13th June at Oatridge College.

There are still places available on both courses, which are free to Association members and £25 to non-members.

If you are interested, PM me asap.
