Sheep producers across South Australia are invited to join four Sticky Beak Days this February to explore innovative yard and shed designs while gaining practical insights into flock structuring and farm finances.
Hosted on farms across the state by AWI Extension SA and Livestock SA, including an Eyre Peninsula visit at Mount Cooper, these events are a unique opportunity for producers to learn directly from other producers, alongside leading industry experts.
Angus and Jess Gunn will host one of the Sticky Beak Days from 8am to noon on Tuesday, February 4 at 3756 Poochera-Port Kenny Road, Colley.
Attendees will have the chance to see first-hand how new shed and yard designs are being implemented, with insights shared by Ben White from the Kondinin Group, who will discuss various design options and their benefits.
Recognising the value of peer-to-peer learning, the events will also feature Nathan Scott of Achieve Ag Solutions and Deb Purvis of Purvis Agri-Finance.
Nathan will offer guidance on making informed flock structuring decisions, while Deb will share her expertise in navigating agri-financing options to support farm businesses.
“These sessions are designed to be practical and relaxed, providing real-world examples and advice that producers can take home and apply to their own operations,” AWI Extension SA chairperson Georgie Keynes said.
The Sticky Beak Days promise a combination of expert knowledge, farmer-driven learning and on-the-ground solutions, making them a must-attend for South Australian sheep producers keen to innovate and grow their businesses.
The days will start with breakfast at 8am, with attendees asked to bring a chair.
