Weaners for Profit

Course Overview

Gain the knowledge and skills for optimal weaner performance and management with Weaners for Profit.

The course has been designed to follow the successful AWI & RIST’s Lifetime Ewe Management Course. This course assists farmers to analyse weaner performance, manage post-weaning, manage ewe lambs and hoggets during joining, early and late pregnancy as well as preparing hoggets for joining and reviewing ewe lamb performance.

Over 12 months (five sessions) this course will follow the same delivery structure as AWI & RIST’s Lifetime Ewe Management (LTEM) course.

During each session, participants will visit each farm and conduct pasture assessments and hands-on sheep management training/weighing.

How do I Join?

After completing an LTEM course, why not stay together as a group and undertake Weaners for Profit!

Alternatively, you can contact your neighbours or like-minded farmers in the same location and form a group of 5-7 participants and we can send a trainer to come and deliver directly to you.
