AgriSearch is holding farm walks for sheep farmers on 10 and 11 September, focussing on future-proofing flock health and performance on-farm.

Leading the discussion at both events will be UK sheep consultant Lesley Stubbings, who will focus on topics such as effective worm control, ewe nutrition pre-tupping, winter feed options and giving the ram a pre-breeding check.
