This week is our season finale of Season 7 of the Head Shepherd podcast. As ever, we asked our listeners if they had any questions for Mark Ferguson to answer. Mark covers questions such as: "Are the commercial farmers still planning to invest similar this up coming ram selling season in Australia, at the same level they have in previous years?  Is there any uncertainty in higher interest rates and FMD on the horizon?" to "Can high temperatures during joining affect the quality of the foetus? Is it possible to get more abortions or reabsorption if semen and/or egg quality is affected by extreme heat?" Mark also runs through the recent footrot work he is involved with in New Zealand and Australia. This weekend Mark and the Australian half of the team will be at  Sheepvention, either on stand 219 or roaming the show-grounds. Towards90 also launches at Sheepvention next weekend.
