Dr. Tim Keady joins this week’s OviCast to explore the key considerations around mating ewe lambs.

Joining host Ciaran Lynch, they dive into the pros and cons of including ewe lambs in your breeding programme, with Tim sharing insights on how they perform within a sheep enterprise.

Critical factors, such as target joining weights, timing and duration of the mating period, and the strategic use of the ram effect, are also discussed.

The conversation wraps up with a look at the importance of good nutritional management – both during mating and leading up to lambing – to optimise outcomes.
