Beef and sheep advisers from CAFRE have organised a number of farm walks in the coming weeks, that aim to demonstrate good practice around grassland and livestock management. The walks will cover the management of grazed grass, clover swards, suckler cow fertility and the control of flock worm burdens. Each farm walk will start at 7:30pm.
