As Sheep Ireland prepare for the busy lambing period on the four Central Progeny Test (CPT) flocks, we are pleased to offer lambing experience to students who may be interested. With over 2100 ewe’s due to lamb down within a short period of time, the CPT lambing proves to be a huge learning opportunity for students. Throughout the lambing period students will get hands on experience which will in no doubt benefit them if they wish to further their career within the Sheep sector. They will also collect very important lambing data that will feed in to the national genetic €uroStar evaluations while using the latest recording technology to do so.

Anyone interested in gaining some lambing experience can contact Sheep Ireland on 023 882 0451 or email [email protected]. The lambing period across the four  CPT flocks takes place for the duration of March.
