Seminar 2000

MacFarlane Pheasants, Inc. presented their "2nd International Pheasant Management Seminar" from February 27 through March 3 of 2000. The seminars touched on a variety of subjects and offered chances for those starting and those in the business to learn from almost 70 years of gamebird business experience.

Activities included presentations by veterinarians and professionals on gamebird breeding, bird health, and general management practices; discussion and exchange of ideas; and an extensive tour of MacFarlane Pheasants, Inc. The seminars have more than helped those who have attended.
