Ploughing 2024 – focus on lamb finishing

Sheep specialists, Michael Gottstein and Damian Costello, are on this week’s OviCast as they discuss the focus on lamb finishing at the sheep section of the Teagasc stand at this year’s National Ploughing Championships. 

Michael talks to us about some of the decisions that need to be made with regards to lamb finishing and purchasing stores this autumn. 

Damian takes us through some of the technical areas they will focus on and they discuss the demo that will be there on the day. 

We finish up with Michael encouraging those visiting to drop in and visit the team to discuss the options for finishing lambs and all other sheep related queries.
