Description

Raising livestock isn’t just about feeding animals and hoping for the best. It’s about making informed choices every day—whether that’s understanding pasture rotation, spotting signs of illness early, or knowing why that one sheep keeps giving you the side-eye. This Livestock Management Basics Course takes you through the essentials of animal care, housing, feeding, breeding, and record-keeping—without muddy boots or hay in your socks. Whether you’re caring for a few animals on a smallholding or planning to scale up, this course provides the knowledge to manage livestock confidently and responsibly.

Designed for learners at all levels, the course covers livestock health, welfare, nutrition, and environmental considerations with straightforward explanations. You’ll explore cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry—what they need, what they don’t, and how to keep them in top condition. From biosecurity measures to bedding options, the content is direct, no-nonsense, and surprisingly enjoyable (yes, we said it). If you’ve ever thought, “I should probably know more about what’s mooing in the back field,” this is your chance to learn, without leaving your sofa—or scaring the neighbours with your new interest in pig weight ratios.
