Join us together with New Zealand fodder beet expert Dr Jim Gibbs and UK expert Marc Jones (KWS) on a practical on farm meeting to learn how to successfully outwinter stock on fodder beet to maximise performance and reduce costs.

The event will also focus on how the crop can fit into your farming and livestock systems and be utilised with herbal and grass leys.

At the event you’ll learn about:
• Transitioning of cattle and sheep to fodder beet
• Maximising stock performance on fodder beet
• Health requirements of stock on fodder beet
• Integration of grass/herbal leys

If you’re involved with cattle and sheep and are looking to outwinter stock and integrate livestock into your farming operation this event is for you. There are several meetings across the country so if you’re unable to make your nearest one, other dates and locations and available.
