With the cold snap this week, there’s a bonus OviCast episode with sheep specialists Damian Costello and Michael Gottstein sharing valuable insights on managing sheep farms during the present conditions. 

Damian addresses challenges such as water supply and handling stock, emphasising the importance of safety during this difficult period and highlighting key considerations for farmers. 

Michael discusses the impact on livestock, providing guidance on managing hypothermic lambs and the importance of supplementing feed. 

He concludes by encouraging farmers to check in on their neighbours and reaching out for assistance when needed during this period.
