If you have a week or two off, the vet colleges often have signs on the noticeboard from farmers looking for students to help with lambing - they will usually put you up in the farmhouse, feed you, and pay you a small amount. It&#39;s a good way to get some basic experience quickly before you move on to more difficult sheep cases - the ones the vet gets called for! Most of the farmers needing students will probably have one booked by now, but maybe still worth a try. Should still be plenty of ewes lambing up until end of April.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/2689?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:52:14 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:b1c4aae9-244a-48e8-bf8e-5da55b3b03d3Alex Avery<p>how about going to &quot;see practice&quot; at a busy farm practice.&nbsp; not the best way to spend time off but you are likely to get experience quickly if you show willing to get stuck-in</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
