Learn about Livestock 2019

We’ve Teamed up with the Rare Breeds

We teamed up with the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and Ben Burgess to offer schools the chance to take part in farming first-hand by looking after a ewe and her lambs at suitable school locations. In addition to providing a learning package for schools, we take care of biosecurity and all aspects of animal welfare. We provide school staff with a comprehensive briefing on animal husbandry and curriculum ideas.
