In this video the 2020 Sheep Grassland Farmer of the Year, Peter McGuinness outlines some of the key steps he takes during the course of the year to make sure he has enough grass in March & April to avoid meal feed mature ewes after lambing.
He's explains the role played by:
1 - Lamb drafting pattern
2 - Closing paddocks in late October
3 - Lambing date
4 - Early Nitrogen
