Dr. Frank Campion joins us on this week’s OviCast as we discuss getting the ewe flock in the right condition for mating. 

Frank discusses some of the tasks that need to be completed at the moment. We discuss the ewe condition on the better farms post weaning and some of the causes of low body condition at present and the management of replacement hoggets.  

We move on to discuss nutritional requirements, grazing management and keeping sufficient replacements.
