Supported by SAYFC in conjunction with the British Wool Marketing Board, these sheep shearing courses will provide you with a blue seal qualification on completion.

During the course you will receive an introduction into shearing, cover health and safety and an introduction to equipment. There will be some demonstrations but the majority of the day is hands-on practice when you will be supported one-to-one by the instructor.

There will be a range of dedicated SAYFC courses but if these are too far away, or we do not have enough interest in your area for a full Young Farmer course, you will be offered an alternative.

The majority of the courses will take place in June and will last for two days from 9am-5pm.
