You’ve heard the theory and seen the trial data at our previous ‘Growing Great Lambs’ workshops.

Now head out for an on-farm day to see the principles in action, at Ngaponga Station, Ngaroma.

Come and find out how manager Troy McDonald took his ewe flock from ‘average’ to ‘awesome’:

Topics covered

  • A 10kg lift in average lamb weaning weight in 3 years 
  • Reduced ewe wastage to 2.6% 
  • Increased lamb survival above than the national average 
  • WHILE moving lambing a WHOLE MONTH later  

By killing an increasing number of lambs straight off Mum, Troy is also dealing to a historical autumn worm problem by greatly reducing the pasture contamination caused by lambs.
