The next meeting of the organic monitor farm will be held on Thursday, May 23rd at 11am.
Meet as usual at Mains of Thornton farm, Bourtie, AB51 0JX for a sheep profitability discussion.
You're welcome to bring your own figures to share with the community group and hear what Alec Brewster of Rotmell, Dunkeld has to say about his performance targets for his 2000-head Blackface flock. Alec has been working on a specific-trait breeding programme where he is selecting a sturdy, independent ewe who rears her lambs with minimal intervention.
The meeting is open to all and in particular members of the sheep sub-group are encouraged to attend as this will be the last meeting of the project where we concentrate on the sheep enterprise. For your free lunch RSVP by texting Debs Roberts 07733228701
