FINAL FOCUS FARM FIELD DAY
“The Final Fling!”

Wednesday 15th September
Tim Aitken and Lucy Robertshawe’s, “The Steyning”.
10.15 start on the farm at Makaroro Road, Tikokino.
Smoko available before hand on your early arrival.

Topics Include:
• Environmental Awards: what the judges saw
• Pregnancy testing hinds in HB: what foetal aging of R2 hinds shows
• Advancing pregnancy: Really? Why there is an upper limit.
• Johnes disease: a follow-up on the successful control programme
• Leptospirosis in deer: a practical approach from John Moffat
• Summary: three years gone and a plan for next time...

The “Final Fling” is in recognition of those farmers, presenters and sponsors who have made our field days so successful- those who have been regular attendees and those who have travelled huge distances to attend.
We have appreciated your support and your input!
We have sponsorship arranged to cover a “Final Fling” after the field day at the recently refurbished Tikokino Pub and the Community Group extends a warm invitation to all who attend the last Central Regions Field Day...
