Are you positive about the future of the lamb trade? What concerns you the most over the next five years? How will you be managing risk within your business? Will farming sheep and producing lamb form a greater or lesser part of your farming business in the future?
These key questions, along with how you plan to manage your sheep flock and rear surplus lambs, form the latest 2026 LAMLAC Lamb Intentions survey carried out by LAMLAC manufacturers, Volac Milk Replacers Limited.
The Lamlac Lamb Intentions survey will only be running for a limited period, so get your answers in quickly for a chance to win. Don’t forget to complete your details at the end to be able to claim one of our £30 Amazon vouchers.
