Show Notes
Sheep specialist, Michael Gottstein, joins this week’s OviCast to outline the key priorities for the month ahead.
We discuss the challenges around fertiliser use and rising costs, why replacing fertiliser with concentrates can be a false economy, and how simple management changes like grouping ewes and subdividing paddocks can boost grass growth.
We also cover key flock health risks, including parasites, lameness and grass tetany, before finishing up with practical tips on preparing for high-quality silage.
