Getting a handle on ewe condition this autumn

Dr. Frank Campion joins us to talk about managing ewe body condition in the crucial lead-up to mating.

We explore why body condition scoring (BCS) is such a key driver of flock productivity for the year ahead, and how current ewe condition on better farm flocks compares to last autumn.

Frank also highlights the management changes that have made a difference on farms this season, and he outlines the practical steps farmers should focus on in the final weeks before ram turnout.
