Sheep Specialist, Michael Gottstein, joins us on this week’s OviCast to discuss weaning options on farms.
We discuss the current situation on farms, challenges with grass quality and why weaning now is beneficial.
Michael explains the weaning process with some useful tips and management of the ewes and lambs post-weaning.
We finish up discussing some of the areas we need to address at the moment from parasite burden to mineral supplementation to tackling lameness.
