THE IMPORTANCE OF MEETING TARGET WEIGHTS

If heifers meet the target weight of 85% of the herd’s mature cow weight by 24 months of age, they are more likely to:

Have increased fertility in their 1st joining

Have increased milk production

Transition better into the milking herd

Are less likely to be culled

Sheep

Parasites

During summer it can be difficult to determine the worm burden of your sheep. The visual effects (clinical signs) are apparent when the worm burden becomes high and there is substantial reduction in production and a negative impact on the health of the animal. It is the non-visual (sub-clinical) effects which accounts for the majority of production loss in a sheep enterprise as it can occur unknown over a long time frame.
