The webinar will feature programme farmers, Karl and Peter McCaughan, who run a 340ha hill farm near Ballycastle, Co Antrim.
The farm carries 550 ewes, alongside 35 spring-calving suckler cows. Like the other programme farmers, the McCaughan brothers are now scanning ewes for OPA on an annual basis.
