How do foster lambs perform relative to their counterparts?

As we are at the point in the season where we're are looking at how lambs have performed and where the tail end lambs have come from, Dr Frank Campion is on this week's OviCast podcast to chat about the performance of foster lambs in commercial flocks.

Frank discusses some work he has recently presented on the topic, outling how these lambs grow in early and late lactation, and the variation among them and their counterparts.

Frank outlines some of the reasons why some lag behind is witnessed and why others aren't successfully reared and drop off. Both Frank and Ciaran Lynch, host of the OviCast podcast, finish up discussing how ewe management this autumn can impact next spring.
