Winter lambing shift could cut sheep losses in drought
J C Cotsell of the Department of Agriculture argues for postponing lambing to October November to balance nutrition and milk supply. He notes early lambing underestimates losses and that delaying lambing reduces stress on ewes during winter, with better ewe condition and fleece outcomes. He cites trials in New Zealand and Shanonne Vale showing late-born lambs fare as well when winter feed is adequate.
