This will be a great workshop to hone your skills on handling your own flock!
Are you comfortable and knowledgeable in handling your flock for shearing day, hoof trimming, vet visits, etc…?
Join us! Sheep Handling 101
Sunday April 13, 2025
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Parry Bay Sheep Farm
4335 Lindholm Rd Victoria BC
We will be covering as many aspects of sheep handling as we can fit into the day. These include: Moving a flock, penning a flock, flipping, halter use, hoof trimming, drenching, injection sites, fitting a ram harness...and much more. If there is something specific that you'd like to see, or need some more work on, please let us know prior to the event so that we can incorporate it.
These topics are a necessity for any successful shepherd, and ones that many of us could use a refresher on.
Hands on participation and practice is highly encouraged, so please dress accordingly. However, to respect biosecurity on the host farm, as well as your own, please wear clothes and boots that are well cleaned to avoid the spread of any infectious diseases.
This event is being offered by IISBA free of charge, and a light snack and refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to:
[email protected]
so that we can finalize numbers.
Feel free to share this info to any contacts, or sheep groups that you may be a part of. We are welcoming all participants, regardless of IISBA membership status.
I hope to see many of you there!

IISBA President
