• March 23-24 Watch us perform routine health procedures: we’ll be clipping toenails, trimming teeth, spraying for ear ticks, giving shots
• April 27-28 We will be just starting to train last year’s crias who have just been weaned. They need to learn to let people learn to pick up their feet up, walk on a lead. It will be good to have you present to watch and to touch them. They need to get used to having people they don’t know around them. No dogs, please.
