À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE

Damian Costello joins us to discuss key sheep management priorities for February as farms gear up for lambing.

We cover grassland management and planning for early nitrogen applications when conditions allow, along with the importance of getting ewe nutrition right in late pregnancy, including practical feeding tips.

We also discuss flock health, with a focus on lameness with advice on preparing supplies ahead of the lambing season.

Damian reminds farmers about the sheep census deadline, and finishes by highlighting the upcoming Teagasc National Hill Sheep Conference
