@CrosseMichael We did shed rearing on the ewe last year and I didn’t like it. Ewes didn’t keep condition, a lot of feed and seemed crazy keeping them in with grass growing outside. A lot of cross suckling as well when inside. Still finding what works 🙈

Doing things a little different this year. Lambs left on ewes on the herbal leys to rear lambs before milking. Cutting feed and labour costs . A much more enjoyable system, well in this weather at least 👍 #sheepmilk #sheepscheese

@jameshadwin I think it works best if you can keep ewe and lambs in shed, more controlled and ensures lambs eats concentrate. Cost wise as we now house the ewe’s anyway for winter, on good quality silage, the cost isn’t huge. Need >shed space. Artificial rearing to a minimum for us now

@CrosseMichael 👍 How long do you leave them on for with you? I’ve done various systems but matching grass growth here means we are late lambing and reducing lactation length. Taking them off is boom or bust surely letting them rear lambs is more resilient in the long term.

There is no reason why we can’t have a new government next Tuesday. FF/FG need to lock in 8 Independents, which should take an hour and a half. Then an agreed programme for government can be rattled out in a few hours by someone good on a typewriter. And Bob’s your uncle. Or if someone insists Bob’s your aunt.

@think_or_swim 0.33% of EU GDP goes to 10 million farmers to supply affordable food to 448 million in the EU. Costs 33c/day or €118/person annually. Ireland govt health expenditure is c €4,500/person. Farmers are incredible value but can’t take the cost/ price squeeze anymore.

Earliest housing ever for March lambers !. Lots of grass about but so wet under foot we bit the bullet to give them a dry bed.

@davidkerr67 Utilising slurry and fym. And complementing grass in Higher DM and Energy. It has a role. For us milking sheep it certainly seems that way.
