Sheep Ireland Industry Meeting April 2018

The Sheep Ireland Industry meeting will take place on Wednesday April 18th and will begin at 10.45am.

The industry meeting will focus in on the main research that has been done and currently underway in relation to Sheep breeding in Ireland, and the impact these changes will have on the national sheep breeding improvement program (i.e. €uroStars).

There is a lot of new and exciting developments that will be coming into play in the very near future, and this is the event to get all the information you require, with some great speakers lined up to take any questions you may have.

Speakers will include: Eamon Wall, Kevin McDermott, Thierry Pabiou, Noirin McHugh and Donagh Berry.

All breed society secretaries, chairpersons and LambPlus breeders are invited to attend this meeting. This event is open to the general public also but unfortunately, due to space limitations we will be unable to accommodate everyone at this meeting.
