Learn to safely handle & care for livestock!

We’ve all heard the story; someone bought a few beef, goats, or poultry only to have a series of mishaps. Just getting them home was worthy of a ‘Tonight Show’ monologue. Breakouts and good neighbor roundups, late night emergency vet calls, nutritional problems, unruly and dangerous behavior, the list can be endless. Suddenly, a small investment in livestock becomes a costly nightmare, often ending in tragedy.

Learn how to keep your livestock happy and healthy at the upcoming Livestock Handling & Care workshops presented by the WSU Snohomish County Extension Agriculture and 4-H programs.
Hands-on workshops with live animals will include topics such as hoof trimming, injections, dehorning, halter training, nutrition, fencing, and more!

Taught by award-winning youth, seniors, and graduates of the WSU Snohomish County 4-H Youth Livestock Program, workshop instructors have the experience and expertise needed to raise and show prize-winning livestock. In addition, all attendees will receive a flash drive loaded with resources for all species to take home.
