Let’s rethink Autumn lamb management. This shorter workshop explores practical ways to help lambs grow faster by reducing their exposure to worms – not just treating them after the fact.

Topics

  • Why do we want lambs to eat fewer worms? 

  • Less worm burden means better growth, improved health, and more efficient use of pasture. How do we help lambs eat fewer worms? 

  • Smarter grazing strategies: “lambs shouldn’t follow lambs”.

  • Stock integration and rotation. 

  • High-quality, low-challenge pasture.

  • Reducing the number of days trade lambs spend on pasture. How do we measure how many worms lambs are eating? 

  • Tools and techniques to assess worm challenge and make informed decisions. Autumn is when we see the biggest impact of worms, a great opportunity to dive into your own system for options to help enhance production and reduce the impact of worms – without relying solely on drenches.
