Do you know about the post weaning 4 Ts? 🤔

Our Technical Advisor, Sarah Gallimore, suggests there are 4 T’s when it comes to post weaning ewe health:
Tone – body condition score
Teeth – checking for breakages and picking cull ewes
Toes – looking for any issues of lameness and pulling out problem ewes to prevent scald or foot rot spreading
Teats – making sure there are no signs of mastitis, hardness or lumps

We will be exploring each of these in more detail through a series of posts, so keep an eye on our feed for more information and useful tips!

Now is the time for Quality Lamb! ⏰
Rumenco’s Quality Lamb high energy and protein feed and mineral block has been formulated specifically for growing and finishing lambs on grazed grass, other forages or root crops. It is available in a convenient 14 inch, 22.5kg block, suitable for use indoors or out in the field.

Quality Lamb has been independently trialled and has been shown to double daily liveweight gains in weaned lambs when compared with feeding grazed grass alone, which in many cases will allow access to the higher value markets.

Quality Lamb has also been trialled with lambs on stubble turnips, which showed a 38-day shortening of the period to market when the blocks are fed.

Do you want to finish lambs faster while saving on concentrates? 🐑

Our Technical Services Manager, Dr Alison Bond suggests some key points to help you maximise lamb growth and minimise input costs.
🟠 Minimise stress at weaning.
🟠Provide feed blocks like Rumenco’s Quality Lamb to complement grazing and little and often nutrition.
🟠Keep on top of health monitoring, especially in warm weather when parasites can be a greater problem.

Weaning lambs at between 12-16 weeks will help give your ewes time to recover. Lambs should be moved to good quality grazing and provided with little and often nutrition to fill any mineral and trace element gaps.

Robyn from got in contact with us to say how well her flock had lambed this year after being supplemented with LifeLine Lamb & Ewe. She said it was the best her mixed flock of 113 ewes had performed and that the only change to their routine was the introduction of LifeLine.
Robyn’s admirable enterprise makes full use of her flock’s fleeces and her range of rugs, dog beds and seat pads all look amazing thanks to her attention to detail and animal husbandry.
If you have any feedback to share about your experiences with LifeLine or our other products, please drop us a note.

Keeping track of BCS in summer ⬇
For ewes that lose body condition during lactation, summer grass availability and quality sometimes just isn’t enough. You can help by providing the correct supplementation in summer to provide your ewes with what may be lacking in forage.

Whether its magnesium, energy or trace elements, there is a Rumenco block or bucket to help!
