Both the Stockman East and Stockman North
development groups have been on visits to local feed mills as part
of their course. In the East, the venue was Crown Milling in Norfolk and included a background to the
business, tour of the mill and details of how it is managed.
The Stockman North group visited the
ABN feed mill in Northallerton for a similar tour, including an insight into
how feed rations are created. The trainees said how much they
enjoyed “the chance to see pig feed produced
from start
to finish”.
And more than 40 people have now
joined the BPEX Stockman Development Facebook group. It is for all pig stockmen to help
keep in touch, improve knowledge and share ideas with others around the country.
It’s also linked directly to the
BPEX Stockman Development and Stockman Plus courses. The group page highlights
details of workshops, relevant videos and photos and gives the chance to ask
questions, comment and discuss with others in the group.
Log in to your account at: www.facebook.com and search for ‘BPEX Stockman Development’ to join the group.
