Sheep farming is a demanding lifestyle. There is always a different job to be done, and the tasks and challenges change with the seasons. Flies are common in the summer months, and they irritate the sheep's skin and feed on their blood spreading diseases. We stock a great range of fly control including pour on, spot on and spray leaving your flock fly free.
During the autumn months, farmers are preparing their ewes for mating and a key thing to watch out for is ensuring they are not too fat or too thin. We stock a high number of mineral licks and animal health products to boost any aspect of the ewe’s nutrition along with supplements such as cereals and compound feed keeping your ewes fit and healthy so that they can produce good-sized lambs.
While the winter months draw in, lambing season is only around the corner. Sheds must be cleaned, disinfected and equipped with heat lamps and our interlocking sheep hurdle make great lambing pens. Each pen must have feed buckets, water buckets and hay racks. Our extensive range of feed containers and hayracks are perfect for the job.
When spring arrives the fields are filled with spring lambs wobbling to their feet and tottering around after their mothers. We stock a selection of bottle rack systems and lamlac milk replacer powder which may become a life saver for surplus lambs.
Lambing season takes place in a short space of time so it is important to be prepared and fully stocked. Each year our experienced staff carefully curate a lambing survival kit providing you with everything you need for success. The lambing starter kit is ideal for smallholders or those just getting started in lambing and contains all of your essentials neatly stored in a sturdy Rumenco bucket.
