Sheep Nutrition Workshop - Inverness

Sheep nutrition underpins every aspect of flock performance - from ewe health and lamb survival to growth rates and feed costs.

Sheep nutrition underpins every aspect of flock performance - from ewe health and lamb survival to growth rates and feed costs. Yet many feeding decisions are made using averages, assumptions, or generic advice rather than what’s actually happening on farm.

By working directly with real forage, feed labels, and ration-building tools, participants gain the confidence to assess what they are feeding, understand how it supports (or limits) ewe performance, and make informed adjustments that suit their own system.

Join us over a series of three Sheep Nutrition Workshops which will cover:

• Ewe management through pregnancy to support high lamb survival
• How to assess forage quality
• How to build rumen healthy rations based on your forage quality.

The workshop will be hands on and provide you with the skills to develop a ration based on your own context. For that reason, these workshops are limited to 12 people and booking is necessary.

Participants should, if possible, bring their own:

• Forage analysis results
• A sample of the forage in an airtight container (to prevent smell!) for physical examination
• Any feed labels you have

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
