  • Geoff Duddy from Sheep Solutions will also cover:
    • modern livestock facilities such as functional yards, sheep handlers and equipment
    • proactive grazing management to minimise the need for supplementary feeding and meet the breeding ewe and lamb requirements
    • improved genetics and the development of ‘easy-care’ sheep.

This will be a great opportunity to see the equipment in action and ask questions of producers who are currently using it and get some tips for making running sheep easier.
