Sheep
Following the announcement of the new National Sheep Welfare Scheme, farmers are no doubt identifying what actions they will undertake.
Getting your flock of ewes gathered and assessing their body condition well in advance of breeding should be on the to-do list.
Dairy
Although many spring-calving herds will continue to milk on into late-November, attentions should turn to the body condition of the herd.
As we edge closer to the breeding season and bring the 2020 calving season to a close, the focus will now turn to getting cows back in calf.
With the lambing season fast approaching for many mid-season flocks, now is the time to make sure you have everything in place.
The next six-to-eight weeks are going to be vitally important on sheep farms when it comes to managing and feeding in-lamb ewes.
Beef
Do farmers realise the importance of the condition score of the cow around calving and how to determine the scale?
