The Farm Profit Programme is hosting an open meeting this Thursday 21 February at 7pm in Ring 2, Thainstone Centre, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire.

The meeting will outline the results for the six focus farms from the second year of the programme as well as a live calving demonstration.

For those unable to attend, the event will be livestreamed

In year one of the programme, the average gross margin increased by £115/cow and £3/ewe across the focus farms.

We will highlight some of the wins and losses from what has been a difficult past 12 months on livestock farms.

The focus farmers will also outline some of their plans for the year ahead.

Also on the night, there will be a live calving demo with vet Andrew Smith from Donview Veterinary Practice. The demo will discuss problems that occur at calving time, how to avoid common mistakes and provide farmers with practical tips that will help increase the number of live calves on the ground on your farm this year.
