Nathan Todd’s farm ‘Woonallee’ is at Culburra near Tintinara in South Australia where he’s marking 170% lambs in his Merinos, which he thinks is “pretty high”.
In addition to the extra lambs from early joinings, Nathan is also enthusiastic about Regulin as a management tool, prompting him to think about managing his sheep in a different way to improve production and profits.
“Our scanner says ‘I never see results as high as yours, especially early in the season’.”
So the early lambs AND the compressed lambing which brings it’s own benefits:
“I want to get my lambing done and get those lambs off the stubbles, so I can put the crops in. Generally after the first two waves of the joining cycle, the ewes are all pretty-well done; and when they start lambing, they’re all done in within four weeks.”
