NSA South West Region looks forward to welcoming you to Martin Howlett and Jana Großmann's flock of Merinos at Weona park.
The farm walk will take place on Wednesday 30th September in collaboration with Synergy Farm Vets.
Take a few hours off to join us for an interesting farm visit to hear about the work Martin and Jana are doing with their flock of Merinos, and listen to the latest thinking from Synergy Farm Health regarding Haemonchus and Bluetongue.
The visit will include an opportunity to hear about Martin and Jana's work breeding for fly strike resistance and a discussion on how to manage the challenge of haemonchus.
What to Expect:
- Breeding programme discussion on wool and skin traits.
- Classing and shearing demonstrations with the Merino lambs.
- Haemonchus discussion: on-farm management and wider considerations for the sheep industry.
- Bluetongue longer-term implications and management
Reservation needed for catering purposes.
Refreshments will be provided.
Members and non-members welcome.
Please keep an eye on your emails or contact NSA South West Regional Manager Ian (07913 043234 or ian@nationalsheep.org.uk) for further details.
We look forward to seeing you there.
