Just a quick reminder to make sure you have packaged your samples so they arrive safely to the Neogen lab, in the past few weeks we have had a few packages arrive in the mail that have been damaged in transit.
The safest postal method to get your samples to our lab is to put them in a postage satchel with some form of insulation between your samples and the postage satchel, this provides a barrier for your samples while they are in transit and they arrive at the lab the same way that you posted them to us.
The Droughtmaster National Female Sale is the first of three Society Sponsored Sales held annually.
