Scanning, condition score and preparing for lambing on the BETTER farms

For this week’s OviCast, we catch up with Dr Frank Campion to get an update on the BETTER farm sheep flocks. 

We discuss this year’s scanning results, dealing with issues and benchmarking performance. We move on to ewe condition score on the farms at scanning and since tupping and discuss the practical steps farmers can take to manage this. 

We finish up discussing grass supplies, preparing for lambing and culling problem ewes.
