NSA Marches Region and AHDB BRP Joint Meeting

NSA Marches Region held a joint meeting with AHDB Beef and Lamb (formley Eblex) on Tuesday 12th January at NSA HQ, Malvern. 

A welcome from NSA Marches Region Chairman Kevin Harrison will be followed by a talk from Laura Green from Warwick University, who presented her findings on ewe mastitis following recent work she had undertaken. Clive Brown, Head of Regional Development with AHDB Beef and Lamb also gave attendees a market update.

Kevin Harrison, NSA Marches Region Chairman, reports: “The barn was at full capacity, with many familiar faces from across the region in attendance. Laura Green’s talk was a timely one, and seemed to raise as many questions as it did answers but we all went away with tips to consider for reducing mastitis in our ewe flock. It's always intriguing to listen to what Clive has to say about the global market and how world trade affects our lamb price, it was just a shame the news he was giving us was not quite as optimistic as we would like! But he did highlight again how important the trade into China could be for the UK market, again a healthy discussion was had by the room. On behalf of NSA Marches Region, I would like to extend my thanks to both Clive and Laura.”
