Autumn animal health with Ginny Dodunski. Part 1: Sheep

Ginny is a Senior Vet with Totally Vets, Taumaranui, well known in sheep and beef circles throughout the North Island for her animal health work, her research and her involvement in B+LNZ extension activity. She joins us to talk about some key issues for sheep farmers in any autumn, but in particular when feed is tight. We talk about internal parasites in lambs, what it takes to get a good lamb from a good hogget that becomes a good 2-tooth, and the value of Body Condition Scoring for ewe flocks.
