Mark your calendars! The date has been set for MacFarlane’s 8th Biannual International Pheasant Management Seminar. The dates are Sunday, March 4th through Wednesday, March 7th, 2012 and will be held in Janesville, WI at the America’s Best Value Inn.

MacFarlane’s is the largest pheasant producer in the United States and a part of our success is our continuous strive to keep up on the newest techniques and equipment in helping make us a leader in the industry.

If you have never attended our seminar before, now is the time to experience this great opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry. Our seminar includes an intense 3 days of farm tours, hands-on necropsy labs, presentations by industry experts and veterinarians with an extensive question and answer session. Included are daily lunch and dinners that allow you time to socialize and get to know other attendees or perhaps catch up with an old friend. On average our seminar receives between 75-100 attendees. In 2010 our international guests were from the UK, Ireland, Canada and even Israel!

Whether you are new to the industry, have pheasant experience or have attended our seminar before, our seminar is sure to not disappoint. There is always something new to learn, new people to meet and what better excuse to take a break and get away while improving your skills to help make you more successful. Our 2012 seminar speaker lineup so far includes; Dr. Ron Griffith from Iowa State University. Mr. Olivier de Chevign’ from L’envol de Retz in France. Mr. Harlan Schaefer from Best Vet Solutions in Iowa. Dr. Sally Noll from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Robert Porter from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Susan Watkins from the University of Arkansas. Dr. Alan Pearson from Green Lane Vet Centre in England. Dr. Keith Branwell from the University of Arkansas. Mr. Don Montgomery, President/Owner of Blue Hill Gamebirds in Kansas. Dr. Ron Griffith from Iowa State University. Mr. Brian Klein, MacFarlane’s very own Pen Manager and Mr. Jeff Spooner who is our local trapper. As you can read we have many excellent speakers lined up to give presentations and more are in the works.

There is considerable amount of time in planning our seminars to ensure your needs and expectations are met. Our goal is to make you keep coming back!
