Description:

Teagasc advisor, Tom Coll, is on this week’s OviCast with some practical management tips as the breeding season draws to a close.

 

Tom highlights the importance of ram management at this stage — from identifying repeats to dealing with injured or lame rams. 

 

We also chat about why it’s a good idea to group ewes in the latter half of the breeding period and the benefits of having a spare ram available.

 

The discussion then turns to managing ram lambs, reducing the risk of fighting post-mating, and best practices for ram care once the breeding season ends.

 

We finish up by talking about the importance of monitoring and managing ewe condition in the lead-up to housing.
