Join Farming Connect and the Jones family at Cefngwilgy Fawr, where you will hear more about opportunities for cutting costs and improving livestock performance.
Also joining the event is Chris Duller, an independent grassland specialist, who will be discussing how to go about forage budgeting and opportunities for reducing the use of artificial fertilisers by increasing clover content in the sward and Eurion Thomas, Techion, who will be discussing the effective management of parasites and overcoming anthelmintic resistance.
Hear more about the Stoc+ project, which promotes proactive flock and herd health management from Hybu Cig Cymru and receive an update from PROSOIL, a farmer-led research initiative to safeguard soil and optimise nutrient use efficiency on livestock farms.
Cefngwilgy Fawr is part of the Farming Connect Demonstration network, working on gaining a better understanding of soils and silage, looking to reduce the amount of feed bought in and performance recording, using technology to establish which animals perform the best.
Cefngwilgy Fawr Demonstration Site is a 200-hectare (ha) upland holding farmed by Edward and Kate Jones and Edward’s father, Gareth. A herd of 50 suckler cows and a flock of 1000 sheep graze the farm, which rises from 700 feet to 1100 feet at its highest point.
