Beef and Lamb New Zealand will stage a Growing Great Lambs workshop in Gisborne early next month as lambing gets into full swing across the region.
The event is being held on September 4, from 10am to 2pm at the Ngatapa sports club.
“There’s considerable improvement and growth to bemade with benefits in both - time to finish and reduction in feed costs,” B+LNZ senior extension manager Mark Harris said.
“Grow your lambs faster and make more money.
“We will cover from pre-mating through to weaning – giving you the tools to know what to put in place for your lambs to survive and thrive.”
The workshop will be facilitated by Ginny Dodunski from B+LNZ and SheepGeek Ltd.
“This is a workshop you don’t want to miss,” Harris said. “We will also take the opportunity to brush up on body condition scoring and discuss how you can maximise this year’s lamb crop.”
