We are pleased to announce that Paul Christopher the Horsham saleyard manager has received funding from the wool industry to attend a FMD visit to Nepal in November. This will be a great opportunity to see FMD in a live situation and obtain knowledge hopefully that will never be required in Australia. Paul is the first saleyard manager to attend this course and we congratulate him on his succesful application. Paul will be passing on his experiences at the summer ALSA workshop.
