Hand Rearing Young Livestock

Want to learn more about hand rearing calves, lambs and  goat kids? 

RSPCA Victoria's upcoming webinar "Hand Rearing Young Livestock" will explore the shelter and housing needs for pre-weaned livestock, species-specific feeding plans and methods, as well as practical considerations to consider when caring for young livestock. 

This webinar is designed for individuals interested in hand rearing pre-weaned livestock, who are currently breeding livestock or looking to in the future. It's also ideal for those purchasing pre-weaned animals or may have these animals in their care,  such as foster, rescue groups and veterinary teams. 

There will an opportunity to ask questions from the audience, so come with your questions ready!
