One of their focus areas when joining the project was to increase the killing out percentages of their finished lambs.</p> <p>As the lamb supply chain begins on farm and ends on the plate of the consumer, the way for sheep producers to maximise returns from their lamb crop is to produce and sell what their buyers want and are willing to pay the most money for.</p> <p>While weight is obviously important, sending animals of the right conformation and fat score is just as vital. Frequent, careful handling of the lambs is essential to ensure each animal has reached its full potential and target specifications.</p> <h2>What you'll learn</h2> <ul> <li>The purpose and benefits of the Farm Excellence programme</li> <li>How to hit specification by selecting lambs of the right conformation, fat score and weight</li> <li>How to interrogate and therefore understand kill sheets</li> <li>What are the preferences of processors, retailers and consumers when it comes to lamb</li> </ul> <h2>Itinerary</h2> <ul> <li><strong>10:00am</strong> Registration &amp; refreshments</li> <li><strong>10:30am</strong> Meeting starts</li> <li><strong>12:30pm</strong> Lunch</li> <li><strong>2:00pm</strong> Meeting ends</li> </ul> <p>We&rsquo;ll be joined by Steve Powdrill (AHDB Selection and Carcase Classification Specialist), Grace Randall (AHDB Retail and Consumer Insight Manager), Roger Heggadon (Procurement Manager from Dunbia Jasper&rsquo;s) and an agriculture manager for Dunbia Group.</p> <p>Don&rsquo;t miss this interactive Monitor Farm event with a supply chain focus. We look forward to seeing you there.</p> <p>RoSA points are available for this event.</p> <p><a href="https://ahdb.org.uk/farm-excellence/kingsford-farm">Find out more about Kingsford Farm</a>.</p>Wed, 30 Aug 2023 15:50:07 GMThttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/events/make-the-most-of-selling-your-lamb-tips-of-the-tradeFirst UK sheep genetics exports shipped to the UShttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/news/first-uk-sheep-genetics-exports-shipped-to-the-usFirst UK sheep genetics exports shipped to the USTue, 22 Aug 2023 09:47:20 GMThttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/news/first-uk-sheep-genetics-exports-shipped-to-the-usUnlock your herd's hidden breeding potentialhttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/unlock-your-herd-s-hidden-breeding-potentialUnlock your herd's hidden breeding potentialFri, 30 Jun 2023 15:05:00 GMThttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/unlock-your-herd-s-hidden-breeding-potentialIt’s time to run a genetic carbon audit https://ahdb.org.uk:443/news/it-s-time-to-run-a-genetic-carbon-auditIt’s time to run a genetic carbon audit Mon, 19 Jun 2023 10:51:41 GMThttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/news/it-s-time-to-run-a-genetic-carbon-auditSelecting recorded rams for carcase traitshttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/knowledge-library/selecting-recorded-rams-for-carcase-traitsSelecting recorded rams for carcase traitsMon, 17 Apr 2023 13:41:01 GMThttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/knowledge-library/selecting-recorded-rams-for-carcase-traitsDrum Farm hosts workshops to improve breeding decisions and herd performance https://ahdb.org.uk:443/news/drum-farm-hosts-workshops-to-improve-breeding-decisions-and-herd-performanceDrum Farm hosts workshops to improve breeding decisions and herd performance Thu, 23 Mar 2023 11:36:20 GMThttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/news/drum-farm-hosts-workshops-to-improve-breeding-decisions-and-herd-performanceKeeping up with our counterparts in Canadahttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/news/keeping-up-with-our-counterparts-in-canadaKeeping up with our counterparts in CanadaFri, 03 Feb 2023 12:39:04 GMThttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/news/keeping-up-with-our-counterparts-in-canadaDairy breeding and genetics updateshttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/knowledge-library/dairy-breeding-and-genetics-updatesDairy breeding and genetics updatesMon, 05 Dec 2022 14:59:55 GMThttps://ahdb.org.uk:443/knowledge-library/dairy-breeding-and-genetics-updates
