Easter May Not be a Very Profitable Market Introduction When a new sheep producer enters the sheep industry or when existing producers contemplate a change in their farming enterprise, many different things must be considered. The resources that are available on the farm must be evaluated and the proper production system used to maximize the farm resources available. The sheep producer must consider the land, buildings, labour, the machinery resources available on the farm and the market that the shepherd has access to before a sound business decision can be made. If all farm resources are not evaluated the sheep enterprise will underutilise the resources available. Land Do you need to own the land to farm it and raise sheep on it? Of course, the answer is no. Many producers are under the impression that you must own land to be a farmer or raise sheep. In many cases it is likely most economical to rent your land and buildings. The extra debt load imposed on the farming business by insisting that the land be owned, may be enough to make the farm business unsuccessful. Renting of the land and buildings may make the farming enterprise more viable.

4-H Curriculum Resources Animal Science Beef Dairy Horse and Pony Livestock ... Veterinary Science The 4-H Animal Science programs provide a wide variety and depth of educational opportunities for youth, most of which involve working directly with live animals of all types. These projects teach: A. Responsible care and well-being of animals. B. Life Skills like decision-making and communication skills through judging events and oral presentations. C. Awareness of the practices in Animal Agriculture. D. The safe and appropriate use of animal products. E. Scientific principles. The 4-H Animal Science Programs allow the youth to practice and demonstrate what they learn at numerous supporting activities like fairs, judging contests, shows, educational bowls and presentation contests. Virginia has a very successful record in these competitions at the regional and national levels. These programs also help youth become aware of career opportunities in the animal agricultural industries which represents 57% of the total income from agriculture in Virginia. Virginia's animal agriculture industries strongly support these program areas. Take a closer look at the many opportunities waiting for you in the 4-H Animal Science Programs.

Quick Search Teagasc - Research - Livestock - Sheep Dairying Beef Sheep Pigs Sheep Production The overall objective of the Sheep Production Programme at Athenry Research Centre is to increase the competitiveness of sheep meat production through development of lowland systems which maximise the efficiency of grass utilisation combined with increased ewe productivity and better product quality while minimising production costs (including labour). In relation to the hill sector, the aim is to develop production systems which enhance the viability of producers while protecting the hill environment. RESEARCH INITIATIVES Major new initiatives in the sheep research programme at Athenry Research Centre included a project on labour use on lowland drystock farms designed to establish the labour inputs to lowland sheep production. A new project on technology evaluation and transfer was formulated in collaboration with Teagasc sheep advisory specialists. This implements one of the key recommendations in the review of the Teagasc sheep research and advisory programme carried out by Dr Peter Fennessy, New Zealand scientist. Studies on carcass traits of lambs involved slaughter, for carcass dissection, of all purebred Suffolk and Texel lambs born in the breeding flocks at Athenry. This work will yield genetic parameters required for the national sheep breed improvement programme that is operated by Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development in conjunction with pedigree breeders.

Ram Management Introduction Nutritional Management is the one of the most important management items the shepherd should be concerned about. Ewes that are fed well balanced diets are more fertile, milk better and wean more lambs that grow faster. Not only do well fed ewes wean more pounds of lamb per year, but they are healthier and more resistant to infections and disease than ewes that are under Nutritional Stress. If you are in the sheep business to make money, the Nutrition Management of the ewe flock should be your number one concern. Feed costs on the average sheep farm in Ontario accounts for approximately 80% of the Direct Farm Expenses. From the l986 Enterprise Analysis Project, the average ewe (from 30 farmers, 5070 ewes), cost $62.48 to feed for a year. This represented 82% of the Direct Farm Expenses and 50% of the Total Farm Expense. Feed costs are the single largest expense on sheep farms in Ontario Therefore, it is imperative that the flock owner evaluates the feed resources he or she has and manage the feed resource to maintain good ewe nutrition and generate a reasonable profit per ewe.

Many producers use one or more of the following: using lighted corrals, lambing in the barn, regular inspection of the sheep flock, prompt removal and disposal of dead stock, and perhaps confinement at night. These practices may not be practical for all producers. For example, it would be extremely difficult to confine a flock of 500 pasture lambing ewes each night. Greater losses would be likely from mismothering, and increased exposure to diseases such as coccidiosis and internal parasites. Prevention cannot be stressed enough, because after predators kill once they are more likely to return and kill again. If predators have started killing sheep, it is important to stop the killing as quickly as possible.

It tells how to interpret the results of feed analysis. Rick Grant, Extension Dairy Specialist Bruce Anderson, Extension Forage Specialist Rick Rasby, Extension Beef Specialist Terry Mader, Extension Beef Specialist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Why Test Feeds? ... Interpreting Test Results Why Test Feeds? Nutrient concentration can vary considerably in feeds, especially forages. Protein in alfalfa hay can range from 10 to 25 percent or more of the dry matter; grass hay will contain between four and 18 percent protein. Use feed tests to target specific feeds to different livestock. Feed high quality forage to the most productive livestock or when nutrient needs are highest. Feed lower quality forage to animals with lower nutrient needs. Feed tests can help establish the dollar value of a forage, in the cash market or in personal use inventories. Use these tests to establish the value of your forage and to help determine what forages to feed, buy, or sell. Forage tests are useful to evaluate production practices like fertilization, time of harvest, method of harvest, etc., that may influence forage quality. Management skills can improve by learning how changes in production practices affect the quality of your forages.

CRITTER CUSTOMER SUPPORT Electric Fence for Sheep and Goats Sheep Sheep are relatively easy to contain with electric fence because they tend to be docile. However, they present some unique challenges because wool does not conduct electricity and predators are frequently a problem. Depending on a variety of factors, the number of fence wires can vary from four to six, depending on: Sheep require a fence controller that can maintain 4,000 - 5,000 volts on the fence line. Voltage levels are impacted by vegetation on the fence line, length of fence and type of wire. Note: A minimum of 5,000 volts on the fence line is required to keep out predators. As intense grazers, sheep tend to deplete vegetation in their pasture and frequently attempt to graze outside the fence. We recommend a minimum of 4 wires starting low to the ground and spaced to an overall height of 32" - 40".

However, some guidelines should be followed when incorporating corn silage in ewe and lamb diets. Corn silage is composed of the entire corn plant, typically harvested at a whole plant moisture content of 65%. Up to 50% of the dry matter of corn silage is grain corn. Corn silage ferments well due to its high sugar content, and packs well in upright and bunk silos. As with any silage fed to sheep, listeriosis (circling disease) can be a concern. Listeria is a bacterium that is present in soil. Feeding improperly fermented silage to sheep is a major source of the organism. Consider the following tips when feeding silages: Avoid feeding the top layer of silage from an upright silo;
