Testimonials from Master Shepherd’s alumni

“The on-line format enabled me to take the course. I would not have been able to attend if it was offered as in-person only.” Taylor VanSchaik

“The most in-depth course I’ve ever taken.” Robert Parker

“The farm tours brought the lecture and information to life. You also got to see hacks that you wouldn’t necessarily find in a book or on a website.” Caitlin Harvey

“I gained great connections by taking the course and learned a lot in the process. I still find myself referring back to one of the manuals when I’m searching for a specific piece of information.” Shanna Armstrong

 “If you are sheep farming on a full-time basis, the course will pay for itself in no time.” Jeff DeJong
