Last week Sheep Ireland visited some of the later lambing CPT flocks to capture some 40 day weights. While visiting Brian Nicholson’s farm in County Kilkenny, weights as well as body condition scores, dag scores and any incidences of lameness and mastitis was recorded via the Sheep Ireland LambPlus App. To find out what weight bracket you are in this week click here.

Lambs born the last week of March are now entering their final days within the 40 day weights bracket, breeders need to record these weights before next Wednesday 29th May.Late January  and early February born lambs are now in the wean weight bracket (66-120 days old) and breeders will need to get these uploaded before the end of May/beginning of the first week of June.
