DOZENS of district farmers attended a sheep information morning in Pyramid Hill last week.
Heidi Sutherland from Miller’s Ag, who joined the team late last year, brought her animal health experience to the information presented, and was supported by Graincorp Animal Nutrition and Zoetis Animal Health.
Heidi presented key messages and industry information on sheep worms and lice, discussing use of the oral lice products  and concluding with a short introduction to the newest registration for sheep drenching.
Anika Hatty from Graincorp Animal Nutrition presented the basics of sheep nutrition, and then addressed some common issues being seen on local farms.
Miller’s Ag proprietor Nev Miller said he was pleased to offer expanded animal health service and knowledge at Millers Ag. 
“Heidi will be working full-time until the end of April but then continuing to help and support the Millers Ag team and clients, particularly help and advice for sheep animal health programs.”
The session started with bacon and egg rolls, the morning flowed into presentations, with many producers staying on for cake, and the opportunity to ask questions. 
A second sheep information session will be held next month.
