Interactive workshops

Workshops at NSA events offer visitors the chance to hear from and chat with industry experts in an informal environment on a range of practical sheep husbandry and farm matters.

NSA Central Region Early Gathering added even more to the workshop programme for 2019 with five different workshops on offer. With most of the workshops repeated throughout the day, all attending had the best chance to make sure they didn't miss out on some vital information!
