Lamb growth is driven by multiple factors, from ewe condition and milking ability to pasture, climate and genetics. When one falls short, performance suffers.
Join us for a hands-on workshop to break down these drivers and gain practical tools to lift ewe and lamb performance.
Many factors influence lamb growth rate including; ewe body condition, milking ability, pasture quality and quantity, climatic conditions and the genetic potential of the lamb. When one of these is lacking, achieving growth targets becomes much harder. Join us for a hands on workshop where we’ll break down these key drivers and give you practical tools to maximise the performance of your ewes and in turn, your lambs.
The day will be facilitated by Rob Stratton.
Many thanks to our hosts Johnny & Pip Williams and Hamish & Kay Harding (Gisborne workshop) and Rick & Leigh Bullock (Wairoa).
Topics
The day will cover:
- What really makes lambs grow well.
- How lamb growth impacts on farm profit and efficiency.
- Ideas on ways to improve farm practises.
- How to get the most out of your feed and pastures.
We’ll also get hands on with a ewe body condition scoring refresher. With scanning not far away, it’s a great time to revisit the importance of this simple effective tool.
