Workshop
Happy Feet, Happy Sheep - Managing lameness to improve production

This program will be run over two days and will focus on the major causes of lameness in sheep.

Footrot will be a strong discussion topic with the aim being to provide producers with a better understanding of the disease, what it looks like and how they can manage it to reduce production loss on farm.
