Episode notes
Niall Conaty from Teagasc Agricultural College Ballyhaise joins us to discuss practical tips for the lambing shed.
We cover setup, pen layout, group pens and dedicated areas for problem cases and Niall offers insights on streamlining tasks to reduce workload during this busy period.
We also discuss how simple additions, such as whiteboards and labels on pens, can improve communication, along with best practices for recording replacements, identifying problem ewes, and maintaining hygiene and biosecurity throughout lambing.
