Workshop details
Workshops have concluded for this season.
“Being able to see in the demonstration model exactly how the calf needs to move through the cow’s birth canal was far better than simply seeing it on a slideshow. I wish I’d been able to attend such a valuable presentation when I started out dairy farming,”
Rika West, Canterbury farmer
