Does it make cents to finish lambs?

Dry season spring webinar series: October 2024

Join Geoff Duddy in this webinar to learn about finishing lambs in a tight season.

Presenter Geoff Duddy will use examples to assist with decision-making around finishing lambs on grain versus selling as stores.

Geoff Duddy is recognised nationally as a lamb feedlotting specialist and co-developed the Sheep CRC Lamb Feedlot Calculator. Geoff is experienced in all aspects of sheep production, reproduction, nutrition and finishing.

Geoff spent 27 years with NSW DPI in both sheep and wool research and extension roles before establishing his own private sheep consultancy (Sheep Solutions) in 2013.
