Winter feeding and economics for beef and sucklers

Learn about the practicalities and economics of winter feeding with AHDB and the Soil Association.

We will be joined by Emily Grant from Forrit Consultancy who will provide a breakdown of:

• Analysing your business
• Understanding fixed and variable costs
• Identifying KPI metrics
• Highlighting how key resources are being used

We will hear about practical experiences at Broome Park Farms (an Agroecology at Scale demonstration farm), on AHDB's Monitor Farm and others.

You will also get the opportunity to discuss with others how your farm could use these feeding systems, how this information could guide change and how profitability and efficiency can be improved.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the financials and network with local farmers.
