Sheep Strong: the Next Chapter for Sheep Producers

March 18 – 9am to 3pm + sundowner

Moojepin Merinos, 3006 Katanning-Nyabing Rd, Coyrecup WA 6317

The sheep industry is changing, and while the challenges are real, so are the opportunities for those prepared to adapt. At this year’s WALRC Livestock Matters Forum, the focus is firmly on what sheep producers can do moving forward. Through on-farm demonstrations, research insights and hands-on technology, the program explores practical pathways to build resilient, future-ready sheep enterprises. See Optiweigh technology in operation, walk through confinement feeding systems on Hamish’s property, and hear from industry leaders including Sheep Producers Australia. This forum is about clarity, confidence and capability, supporting sheep producers with productivity, profitability and long-term sustainability
