About this course
Sheep are the natural next step for many southern homesteads: they manage the grass, give wool and meat, and are nobler than they seem. But they demand fencing, a health calendar and judgement. This course covers it from veterinary experience.

FAQ
How do the courses work?
Each course is a series of video lessons recorded on our farm. You pay once, log in to your account and progress at your own pace, from your phone or computer. You can rewatch any lesson as many times as you like.
How long do I have access?
Forever. Buying a course grants lifetime access, including the current lessons and any updates we make to that course.
Do you issue a diploma?
Yes. Once you complete 100% of a course, you can download a PDF diploma with your name, the course and the date. It is a certificate of participation, not an official certification.
Do I need prior experience?
No. Most courses are marked "From scratch" and start with the basics. Intermediate courses say so on their page and assume you already keep a garden or animals at home.
