This year, Alnham Farm is focusing on tightening up lamb finishing and removing late keep lambs to free up both pasture and labour resource. Nutrition of both the ewe and her lambs plays an important role in achieving this goal.

Join us for this on-farm event focusing on forage-based nutrition including:

  • Key drivers of lamb growth rate and how to achieve it
  • Importance of good ewe nutrition on lamb performance
  • Importance of pasture quality, minerals and parasite control to maximise growth rates of lambs at pasture

Speaking at the event will be:

Emily Grant from farming consultants Forrit, who specialises in pasture-based sheep and beef systems.

Rhidian Jones of RJ Livestock Systems Ltd, who provides advice to livestock farmers on business management and technical issues along with group facilitation and specialist work encompassing nutrition, breeding, grassland and systems.

We look forward to welcoming you to the event.
