Event
Willow for lamb health and growth
Field lab Farm Walk and Workshop
Join Innovative Farmers for an afternoon event at Mindrum Farm in Northumberland on 25th September to explore the health impacts of feeding willow to lambs and management options. The host, Tom Fairfax, is part of an Innovative Farmers field lab exploring how cobalt-rich willow trees could prevent deficiencies in lambs, cutting the need for supplements.
The event will include in-field workshops on willow health properties, planning, planting and managing; animal health requirements, deficiencies and indicators; grazing methods and considerations; soil monitoring and management. The event is free to attend.
