Farmers will get an opportunity to hear about the latest developments in sheep genetics at the Sheep Breeder Forum this May. The Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) event in Christchurch on May 18 brings together stud breeders, scientists, and industry professionals from across the country. This year, the FORUM runs alongside B+LNZ’s Out the Gate farmer event and awards dinner. B+LNZ says attendees can look forward to a full day of updates, discussion and interactive sessions focused on sheep genetics and the New Zealand Genetic Evaluation. The forum will also give delegates a first look at a new genetics tool rolling out via nProve later this year. The forum opens with presentations from B+LNZ chief executive Alan Thomson and head of genetics Jason Archer, who will outline B+LNZ’s strategic priorities for 2026/27 and how sheep genetics fits within that broader direction. #BEEF_LAMB_NZ
