Interested in becoming a Peer Leader?

Are you an active member of your livestock community?

Do you want to meet new people with the same interests as you?

Whether you have horses, goats, sheep, cows or llamas, you already have a wealth of knowledge about raising your livestock and managing your property. The Livestock and Land Peer Leader Program is a great way for you to share what you know, meet new people, and learn great new techniques to help improve the value of your property, and it’s all FREE!
