Manage ewe replacements to lamb at one year old

Manage ewe replacements for early lambing using the ram effect to synchronise breeding

or

Detail description

Manage ewe replacements to lamb at one year old using nutrition and the ram effect to reduce costs and boost lifetime productivity. Target 60% mature weight by eight months, use aproned rams on day 1, remove on day 3, introduce fertile rams on day 14, with peak mating on days 18 and 23. This synchronisation improves breeding success and supports early lambing in mid-season prime lamb systems.
