As BRD (Bovine Respiratory Disease) primarily involves viruses & bacteria, it’s natural to focus on these pathogens when designing a control programme, and vaccines do have an valuable role. But success also requires providing young cattle with an appropriate environment, minimal stress and optimal nutrition so they can combat the challenges.."

Preparing for Easier Lambing in 2025

Get ready for a smoother lambing season with these tips:

1. Tighten the lambing period for efficiency.
2. Choose genetics that promote easy lambing.
3. Boost ewe nutrition to improve lamb vigour.
4. Optimize your time – consider cattle grids and ramps to cut down on gate opening and driving.

Tightening the Calving Window

Consider removing the bull 2-4 weeks earlier this year.

Why?

- Fertility was good last year
- Fodder supplies are tight this winter
- Grain supplies are low, expensive, and often poor quality
- Straw prices are soaring

This winter is shaping up to be costly, so it's not the time to carry inefficient, late calvers. Plus, the current high value for cull cows adds another incentive.

• T u p p i n g ✅

And just like that the tups are back on their holidays! The boys have been working hard with every ewe marked and very few repeated. But just because they have a mark doesn’t guarantee they are in lamb…

Ewes & Gimmers are kept separate still until scanning mid January. This is just a personal preference so we can see how each compare scanning % wise.

These girls received a downland bolus pre tupping and had sheep super blocks throughout tupping. Here’s hoping they are full of lambs once again 🤞🏻

Lamb prices remain at historic highs for this time of year. In the week ending the 16th of November the SQQ price sat at 649p/kg, an increase of 23p on the previous week and up 60p on the year. Store prices are also strong, with lambs fetching over £100/h on average in the week ending the 23rd of November. With tight supplies and relatively strong demand expected to stay, we could see prices increase further in the run-up to Christmas. Slaughter numbers in the first four weeks of November were back 13%, whilst year-to-date slaughter numbers remain 8% lower than 2023. Domestic trade has been strong this year, with overall lamb retail volumes up 7% despite higher prices.

Prime cattle prices have continued to increase across the month, reaching 524.1p/kg in the week ending the 23rd of November. Store prices are also strong with 18 month continental steers fetching upwards of £1,400/h, whilst this years calves are fetching upwards of £1,000/h in some regions. Cull cow prices have recovered from the dip we saw in October with smaller numbers coming forward; averaging 357.7p/kg in the week ending the 23rd of November, prices are currently around 65p higher than last year. As with sheep, the favourable prices are being driven by tight supply and steady demand. We have seen an expected drop in throughputs across November, reflecting a decline in breeding cow numbers over the past two years.

With the majority of ewes and shearlings across the country hopefully now in lamb, producers will be awaiting scanning time to gain an indication of what is in store for the year ahead. Scanning results can be optimised by supporting good placental development during the second and third months of pregnancy. This involves maintaining target BCS and ensuring nutritional requirements are met. It is important to remember that the placenta is the mechanism by which vital oxygen and nutrients are transferred to the growing lambs and is fully developed by day 90. Supporting placental development throughout mid-pregnancy can help to reduce scanning-lambing losses and aid subsequent lamb vigour and survival.

Did you know you can reduce straw bedding usage by up to a third?

Simply create a scraped passageway where cattle tend to dung and urinate (such as where they wait for food or stand while eating), and watch the savings add up! With today's straw prices, this could almost cover the cost of investing in a robotic slurry vacuum.

Automating slurry collection with a robot, like the Lely Collector, doesn't just save straw—it also reduces the time and fuel spent scraping with a tractor.

Fewer passes, cleaner cattle, and fresher bedding. It's a win-win!

Dr. Jim writes, "A farm specific vaccination protocol is an important element in the control of BRD (Bovine Respiratory Disease). However even the most carefully planned vaccination programme should not be relied on to control the problem on its own. There are key management and husbandry practices that are the foundation of successful disease control and are essential, regardless which pathogens are involved."
