Sheep Program

Sheep Program Details

Most of the CAEP sheep programs take place in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia. Through an Australian sheep training program, you will gain hands-on experience with pasture-fed animals. As a sheep program participant, you will gain hands-on experience in lambing, care, the feeding of livestock, docking (tailing), and more! The animals live outside, and are pasture fed all year round, supplemented with hay & silage. Lambing takes place from July to October depending on location in Australia.
