Meet Consumer Demand

Consumers increasingly favour meat from cattle and sheep raised almost exclusively on grass and conserved forages because they recognise its quality, flavour and animal welfare benefits. Producing top quality grass and fodder for healthy, productive livestock hinges on a number of factors including soil care, grassland management and knowing the nutrient content of home grown winter rations. Don’t miss this opportunity to come on the following courses:
Grassland Management and Weed Control, one day Thursday 22nd May Forage Analysis and Winter Rationing one day, date to be decided in the autumn. top
