South-west lamb producers hone their assessment skills

Summary

The attendance at or participation in group activities by the group members has been at a consistently high level. Several of the group's activities have been reported in the local press, boosting non-member awareness of the activities. Two major reports were produced during the project. The first of these was the report on the Future Directions workshop which was distributed in September 1996. This report summarised the group's present situation and relevant background, and identified possible directions the group may take in future. The other major report was that produced on group benchmarking. While only 15 members of the group participated in the exercise, the data generated was made available for others to use as a comparison with their own operations.
