Sheep producers looking for the latest advice on how to maintain a healthy and contented flock should tune into a free webinar on Thursday, August 28.
A special three hour program will beam the latest on worm and lice control from a panel of three experts over the internet. Participants can come and go as they please throughout the webinar, getting involved in any of the three presentations.
Leading Sheep Project Manager Geoff Knights said the webinar was the latest in a series of innovative programs to focus on key industry issues.
The uptake of high speed broadband internet has made webinars widely accessible. Leading Sheep has built an extensive contact network and we are adding to it all the time, Mr Knights said.
Hundreds of sheep producers are now registered. Anyone not on the database who wants to participate in the webinar will need to register prior to the event on https://leadingsheep-events.webex.com.au
