Lamb survival and ewe performance are heavily influenced by management in the final 4–6 weeks before lambing. During late pregnancy, energy demand increases significantly, particularly in twin- and triplet-bearing ewes, making nutrition one of the key drivers of birthweight, vigour and colostrum quality.

Shelter availability, pasture utilisation and minimising ewe stress can also impact survival rates during cold and wet conditions. Monitoring condition score and planning feed requirements ahead of lambing can help support both ewe recovery and lamb performance through marking and weaning

Winter conditions can expose weak points in water infrastructure, particularly in high traffic livestock areas.

Regularly checking pumps, troughs, fittings and drainage can help improve reliability and reduce unnecessary maintenance during busy periods. Good water access remains one of the simplest ways to support stock performance year-round.

Vaccination remains one of the most effective tools for supporting flock health and protecting lamb survival through winter and spring.

Pre-lambing boosters can help improve immunity transfer to lambs, while maintaining vaccination programs across the flock supports productivity and reduces the risk of costly disease outbreaks.

Talk to your local CRT team about timing, vaccine selection and animal health planning this season.

A look at what’s been happening in the yards this week.

Routine jobs, quick decisions, and plenty going on behind the scenes.

What have you been working through lately?

With planting underway or wrapped up in many areas, attention turns to establishment.

Moisture, early growth, and w**d pressure can all play a role in how things track from here.

What are you seeing so far?

Pre lambing prep is well underway in many regions.

It’s the small things, condition scoring, feed planning, shelter and setup, that can have a big impact when lambing starts.

What’s top of your list at the moment?

How was your Mothers day?

To the mums, grandmothers and mother figures who play such a big role in our farms, families and communities, thank you. We hope you had a great weekend.

What are you seeing out your way right now?

We’re hearing a mix across regions, some good early growth, some still waiting on that break.

Every season looks a bit different, and it’s these early weeks that often shape what comes next.
