New Zealand Shepherds to Gather for Practical Training and Wellness Event
Young shepherds from across New Zealand are invited to attend the upcoming 'B+LNZ Shepherds' Day,' an event focused on professional development and personal wellbeing. The gathering aims to support the next generation of farmers by providing a mix of hands-on skills and practical advice for life on the land.
Led by experienced shepherds Pete London and Tom Loughlin, the day will feature a strong emphasis on practical dog training. Working dogs are essential partners for farmers in New Zealand, and attendees will have the opportunity to learn new techniques to improve their training methods and efficiency in the field.
Beyond technical skills, the event will also address the importance of health and nutrition for those working in the agricultural sector. Organizers will share insights on how young shepherds can stay properly fuelled and maintain their physical and mental health while managing the demanding nature of farm work.
This event highlights the ongoing commitment of Beef + Lamb New Zealand to support the rural community. By combining traditional farming knowledge with modern health advice, the day offers a valuable opportunity for young professionals to connect, learn, and thrive in their careers.
