May Management Notes
Show notes
Teagasc Sheep specialist, Damian Costello, joins us as we run through the key management priorities for sheep farmers in May.
We cover practical advice on grassland management, maintaining lamb performance, and planning ahead for first-cut silage.
There’s also a timely reminder of the National Sheep Welfare Scheme (NSWS) deadline and what’s required to maximise payments.
On the flock health side, we focus on seasonal risks including Nematodirus, scald, and blowfly strike, with clear guidance on prevention and treatment.
