Maximise lamb production on fodder beet
Channel: Beef + Lamb New Zealand
Date: 2016-08-23

Because of dry conditions, autumn is a difficult time of year to finish - or even run - lambs. Scott Linklater, of Link Farms Ltd, has been running a trial to see if they can maximise both profit and productivity by running lambs on fodder beet (with hay, to ensure the lambs have a balanced diet). The trial is a Beef + Lamb New Zealand Innovation Farm project (formerly known as 'Demonstration Farm' projects).
A panel discussion to look at Scott's findings is being held in Feilding at 3pm on Thursday 15 September. Questions for the panel should be emailed through beforehand. There's more information on our website:
