Each year the pens need to be repaired, cleaned and prepared for the lambing season. Before lambing begins, the ewes need to be sheared and moved to areas near the lambing sheds. This season is a critical phase in the production cycle of livestock. Livestock feeding and management are essential to the success of the season.
