Just Sheep

Come along and hear about opportunities for sheep farmers in the uplands. Including a discussion of options within Countryside Stewardship and potential future SFI schemes, how trees can work with sheep grazing through Agroforestry, and how to increase profit through low input and pasture fed systems.

We will be hearing from;

• Cora Cooper, a Pasture for Life upland sheep farmer utilising adaptive mob grazing at landscape scale with Herdwicks and Welsh mountain sheep on a designated site
• Rob Bunn, a Pasture for Life Project Manager 'Pasture & Profit in Protected Landscapes'.
• Ruth Dalton, an independent farm advisor who works on a freelance basis for the Farmer Network, and is a Pasture for Life Farmer Mentor.

We are staring at 6:15pm, with supper and refreshments served at 6:30pm so please book your place now, and let us know of any dietary requirements. If you have any questions, please contact The Farmer Network: Call 01768 868615 or Email YWRtaW4gfCB0aGVmYXJtZXJuZXR3b3JrICEgY28gISB1aw==.
