Getting you animals ready for the shed

October is moving fast and the days are getting progressively shorter. Hopefully, the weather will play ball so that we can all extend grazing into next month. Housing stock has begun around the country and is inevitable over the coming weeks. Final repairs and finishing touches to new builds are being done all over the country in anticipation of the turn-in. It is as important to get your animals ready for the sheds too. This plan should be determined by the type of animals to be housed, housing type, disease status and herd history. Vaccination and dosing programmes need to be put in place in advance of housing.
