Teagasc Sligo/Leitrim/Donegal in association with Sheep Ireland held a webinar in August with the focus on the night on sheep breeding and health.

The webinar covered everything you need to know with regard to purchasing a ram using the Sheep Ireland Catalogue and using the Eurostar’s to inform your decision; with Eamon Wall and Kevin McDermott of Sheep Ireland speaking in depth on what you need to know. The second half of the webinar covered the increasingly important area of Antimicrobial Resistance; covered by Teagasc Sheep specialist Damian Costello. Patrick Browne & Shane McHugh of Teagasc Donegal were also involved in the facilitation of the webinar and made valuable contributions. The webinar was hosted by Cian Condon of Teagasc Manorhamilton/ Mohill.
