Building Resilience in your Flock (Dingwall)

Join us at Torgorm Farm, courtesy of Shaun and Euan Macdonald for a meeting on resilience planning for sheep.

The day will cover many topics and give the opportunity for discussion.  Local Conan Vet Graeme Swanson will be giving a talk about foot rot treatments and a demonstration on foot trimming.  Karen Stewart, SAC Nutritionist, will be covering the options for creep feeding and preparations to consider for finishing lambs.

Sheep Specialist from SAC Consulting Kirsten Williams will be giving a practical demonstration of condition scoring.  There will also be a discussion on how to manage condition scoring towards tupping as well a weaning management and how to minimise the need for checking lamb growth rate.
