WSU Master Livestock Program to start February 2

Farming can be a good economic opportunity as well as a great lifestyle choice. The WSU Master Livestock Program teaches small acreage farmers management practices used when raising animals. Learn practices that will improve your property, provide sustainability for your farm, offer financial opportunities, and maintain healthy livestock.

This course deals with the real-life issues landowners must address when trying to manage their farm. The 14-week course is offered online using the Zoom platform on Thursdays from 6-8:30 p.m., February 2 through May 4. Learn how to improve your feeding program, keep livestock healthy, and reduce chore time.

You must register by February 1. The $50 (per family) class fee is due for registration to be complete. Scholarships are available for military veterans and anyone for whom the course fee is a barrier.

The workshops, sponsored by Washington State University Extension, will be held on-line using Zoom. For more information or to register, contact Gary Fredricks, 360-577-3014 Ext 3 or fredricksg@cowlitzwa.gov.
