Practical, farm-based tuition delivered by Torch Farm Vets to improve your livestock and business performance.

Join us for a DIY AI course with a focus on practical hands-on tuition to give you a thorough understanding of the cow’s anatomy and managing the AI process.

This is a three-day course including training at our South Molton surgery followed by two days on-farm.

Working on farm, you will have the opportunity to practice on live cows in a familiar and relaxed training environment. You will be given feedback during the practical sessions as you focus on perfecting your technique.

The course will include:

• Anatomy of the cow reproductive system
• Review of cow oestrus cycle
• Semen handling
• Welfare and legislation
• Practical technique

We are able to offer 50% funding for beef farmers who meet the below criteria:

• At least 30 breeding females,
• Either own or work full-time on the farm
• The farm must be registered in England.

If you wish to enrol, FarmSkills must have the answers to the above, along with your contact details so we can complete the required enrollment for AHDB.

There are only 10 funded places in the south west so first come first served – be quick is key!!!
