Shane Moore, a BETTER Farm participant based in Co. Roscommon, joins this week’s OviCast.

Shane runs a mixed sheep and beef enterprise and he shares insights into how the season has progressed so far, including the challenges of joint ill at lambing time and the rebound in lamb performance and drafting.

We also discuss:

-       how Shane selects replacements and identifies problem ewes for culling

-       post-weaning lamb management, finishing groups and improving ewe condition 

-       his approach to grazing and grassland management this season
