The Allflex Herd tour committee are thrilled with receiving
over 90 registrations and look forward to welcoming you in
Christchurch. For those who haven’t booked on the tour, we
would still love to see you at the South Island education day on

March.

Finally, the magazine will shortly be signed off and sent to the
printers. A big shout out to our editor, Kate Taylor, and designer

mammoth task which always heats up over the holiday period!

If you see Christine, or I at any of the forthcoming events, please
come and say hi, so we can put a face to a name.

Kind regards,
