It has been a busy time on the farm since I last gave an update. All the ewes were condition scored in October prior to going to the ram.
This is a practice we do every year and it gives us a great insight into what’s happening with the ewes and helps me make management decisions including around winter feeding in particular. The Body Condition Scores and liveweights at mating are summarised in the table below.
