Breakfeed: Geordie Eade and Pete Thomson of the 150 Hogget Group

The pair, who are members of the Hogget 150 group, spoke at a recent Beef + Lamb New Zealand Farming for Profit day and outlined what the group members have found to be the critical factors for increasing the productivity and profitability of their hogget flocks.
