Sheep producers are invited to take a clear-eyed, practical look at the future of the sheep industry at a series of free workshops across the Northern Tablelands next week .
Hosted by Northern Tablelands Local Land Services, ‘Staying in sheep: what the future holds’ workshops will run on 13th and 14th of August in Walcha, Guyra and Glen Innes and are designed for sheep producers, whether they’re all-in on sheep or considering their options, the workshops will explore what’s really driving profitability in sheep enterprises.
Senior Biosecurity Officer with Northern Tablelands Local Land Services, Camilla Stokes says producers will also hear about tools for assessing their own performance and making practical changes to improve outcomes.
Ms Stokes says Ovine Johne’s Disease is present across the Northern Tablelands and is something local producers need to understand with this session to focus on what’s relevant, what works and how producers can manage the risks.
