November Management Notes
Shownotes
Sheep Specialist, Damian Costello, joins us to discuss some of the key management tasks for sheep farmers in November.
We discuss grassland management and the importance of achieving good graze-outs ahead of closing paddocks for the winter. Damian outlines the importance of monitoring mating progress, including raddle marks, repeat rates and ram management as the breeding season progresses.
We also discuss liver fluke risk and the importance of selecting the appropriate treatment, along with ensuring compliance with the Sheep Improvement Scheme (SIS) and National Sheep Welfare Scheme (NSWS).
Finally, Damian highlights some of the preparations to consider ahead of winter housing.
