You will learn skills to maintain livestock feed and water supplies, carry out cropping, mating and monitoring animals during pregnancy, implementing health and pest control programs and carrying out farm maintenance.
You will also learn about first aid, effective communication, responding to emergencies and safety in the workplace.
