A Northern Ireland Sheep Programme virtual sheep event is planned for 2 and 9 July.

This new technology transfer programme aims to improve performance within the farm gate by:

  • Identifying sustainable systems of production for lowland and hill enterprises.
  • Utilising flock health planning to underpin output.
  • Increasing efficiency through superior breeding, grassland management and technology adoption.
  • Understanding environmental constraints and farming to enhance upland habitats.
  • Regular monitoring of performance to develop key benchmarks that will ultimately improve farm profitability.

    • You can follow regular updates in the Irish Farmers Journal, and register HERE for a virtual sheep event which will take place on Thursday 2 and Thursday 9 July 2020.
