Nope, we will help you gain the skills of an experienced hand before you leave. This camp is for any women who wants to gain confidence to jump in when working cattle at home.

Of course! We will help you prepare for the day when you do have cattle to work. We do feel like it will be easier to retain the skills if you do use them, but you can get a head start and gain the confidence before you begin working your own herd.
