The cornerstone of a sheep enterprise

A Regulin user once described Regulin as the ‘cornerstone’ of his sheep enterprise, enabling him to ‘neaten’ every stage of the production cycle. By using Regulin, he regularly achieved an impressive 180%+ yield from his composite sheep

Organise your schedule with the Regulin App

The Regulin App is an essential tool for producers looking to better organise their breeding schedules. By simply entering your desired lambing dates, the app calculates calendar dates and reminders for every stage of your breeding program. <link to download page>

Shortening your joining period to 35 days (or 42 days for British breeds) results in more reliable scanning outcomes and consistent lambing dates. This makes marking and weaning lambs more manageable, with an even line of lambs born within a 3-4 week window.

Coordinate competing priorities on your mixed farm

Many Regulin users have mixed farm enterprises, making the reliability of lambing and weaning crucial for coordinating other farm activities. The tight and early lambing window facilitated by Regulin allows farmers to turn out ewes and lambs onto their own feed pastures or crop stubbles in advance of the next planting.

Advance joining in British Breeds

For very seasonal British breeds, Regulin users report significant advantages in advancing their joining schedule. Even bringing it forward a few weeks means more lambs can be born before the harshest winter weather, improving survivability and feed management.

While we don’t suggest altering your breeding program drastically, many Regulin users find that their Spring and Summer joinings yield results just as good as, if not better than, their Autumn joinings.

Incorporate Regulin into your sheep production strategy to enhance efficiency, reliability, and overall yield.

Woonallee
Culburra, SA

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.”
