If footrot is costing you time, money and patience, then this is the Hub LIVE recording you need to see. We brought together Mark Ferguson, Herman Raadsma, Kim Kelly, Jim Walsh and Charles Douglas-Clifford to dispel the myths and deliver real strategies for managing footrot.

• Breeding for resistance: the genetics of footrot resistance, what's possible and how to make it happen.
• Best-practice treatment: MSD Veterinary Technical Advisors from Australia and New Zealand on what treatment actually works in each country.
• 'Genetics of foot health in Merinos' project in Australia: How you can get involved in this industry-led initiative to tackle footrot through collaborative research and on-farm solutions.

Watch the recording on the neXtgen Agri Hub.

We are enjoying connecting with producers interested in fibre goat production at events across the country:

• GoatFest, TAS
• GROW Festival of Regenerative Food and Farming, VIC
• Wagin Woolorama, WA
• National Angora Trophy Show and Sale, NSW
• South East Field Days, SA
• Seymour Alternative Farming Expo, VIC

Keep an eye out for more events, where you can catch up with the team, have a yarn about all things fibre goats and take home resources from the Future Fibre Farming programme.
