$70The Country Living Expo & Cattlemen’s Winterschool on Jan. 27, 2018 offers 180 classes, including 68 new classes this year. Our keynote speaker, Trent Loos is a 6th generation farmer, beef and swine producer, and humorous radio show host who tells stories that bridge the gap between rural food producers and their urban consumers.
New classes this year include: Creating a website for your business, sourcing low carb hay for horse owners, attracting barn owls, tiny house design, cast iron cooking, livestock behavior and low stress handling, back yard forest habitat, and bovine reproduction and nutrition. One past attendee said, “Our family puts this event on our calendar every year! There is something for everyone, and many new classes keeping it fresh. Thank you for keeping it affordable.”
