Herd Management

Herd or flock management is a vital component of successful beef and sheep systems to maximise productivity, efficiency, and profitability. Good herd or flock management can improve fertility, reduce calving or lambing problems, and improve calf and lamb survival and growth rates. To achieve this a careful balance between nutrition, reproduction, and culling is required alongside good record keeping.
