Focus Site Project: Moving to an outdoor lambing system

Project aims:

  • To move from an high cost (money and time) indoor lambing system, to a robust, income generating outdoor lambing
  • Establish a healthy flock, as a basis for expansion from 250 (2016) to 450 ewes (by end of 2018), whilst still working off farm
  • Develop a flexible flock management system, which can adjust to available resources (i.e. labour availability, and weather patterns affecting grass growth and disease incidence).
