Co Durham: Flock foundations - Early decisions, lasting gains

Join AHDB to discover how you can apply the findings from our seven-year Challenge Sheep project to improve the performance of your flock.

Through Challenge Sheep, we tracked more than 6,000 ewes across 11 farms to investigate the challenges of mating ewe lambs and shearlings and the management required to optimise lifetime performance.

Why attend?

We’ll discuss key ewe management challenges and how you can manage them to optimise flock performance, including:  

• How to manage ewe lambs and shearlings to optimise their productivity and lifetime performance
• How managing ewe body condition can have a major impact on lamb growth rates and litter size
• Gathering, understanding and using data to improve flock performance

You’ll come away with a better understanding of how to handle specific management challenges relevant to your flock.
