As Winter Looms Ahead, Now Is a Good Time To Prepare Your Lambs and Goats for the Winter Lambing and Kidding Season

With fall in full swing, winter is right behind it bringing with it the chilly winter weather. For owners of livestock such as goats and sheep, now is the time to plan ahead and prepare for lambing and kidding season. This is important for your animal’s safety and your own operation’s production goals.

Making sure your livestock maintains productive breeding so mating and birthing can continue on schedule means making sure your animals have easy access to nutritious feed so they can be healthy. For lambing/kidding season (typically September and October) means giving birth five months down the road. Providing the necessary feed to your animals gives the lambs and kids the nutrients they need to ensure survival. Access to good feed lessens potential health problems to ensure they not only survive but thrive. Lambs and goats require the proper facilities to support winter kidding:

  • Good feed
  • Fresh hay
  • Pens with dry
  • Access to animal health care and vaccinations

With the right equipment, you’ll be able to oversee your animals’ health, including checking your does regularly, providing vaccines, seeing that they aren’t plagued by lice or worms and are safely sustained throughout the winter weather. Warm facilities and access to feed help keep them warm by boosting their metabolism for optimal body heat.

Sorting Equipment Can Help You Prepare Your Livestock for Spring

When it comes to a livestock operation, spring and summer are often a hectic time when handling cattle, goat and sheep no matter where you are located. As winter eases into spring, you will likely be busy kidding, lambing, sorting and transporting your herds where they need to go.

This ramp has five height setting adjustments at increments of 2, 2 ½, 3, 3 ½, and 4 feet. The bottom is 12″ wide to keep animals from turning around. The ramp has angled sides with the top having side panel adjusters to accommodate various loading heights.

The operation of the sorter is done through a 30″ handle with a trigger that locks and unlocks the sorter. It’s 30″ handle keeps you away from the sorter so animals can exit better.
