Workshop for small farm holders

IF you live on a small farm and need some advice on a range of different things, Central West Local Land Services is holding another Small Landholding Information Workshop next Tuesday at Rawsonville Hall.

LLS is partnering with the Orana Rural Crime Unit to run this FREE workshop.

You’ll hear presentations from LLS officers, district vets and also the specialist rural police.

Questions to be answered will include:

• What can Local Land Services do for me?

• How can I secure my property? What surveillance cameras should I use?

• I have a weed problem. Who should I talk to?

• I have sheep, pigs, cattle, horses or other animals on my block, what paperwork do I need?

• How do I know if my sheep are wormy?

• How do I control feral pests like foxes, roaming dogs, rabbits and feral cats?

What you’ll need to take to the course:

• Weeds for identification (include plant roots, leaves, flowers/ seed head with some water in a sealed plastic bag)

• Notebook and pen
