Teagasc Sheep Specialist, Damian Costello joins Ciaran Lynch on this episode of the OviCast podcast to discuss the key management priorities for sheep farmers.

Practical advice on grassland management, maintaining lamb performance and planning ahead for first-cut silage is discussed. There’s also a timely reminder of the National Sheep Welfare Scheme (NSWS) deadline and what’s required to maximise payments.

On the flock health side, a focus is placed on seasonal risks including nematodirus, scald and blowfly strike, with clear guidance on prevention and treatment.
