Breeding season at Premier always adds some extra color to our pastures. Marking aids are an excellent management tool to aid in record-keeping and to ensure maximum profitability.
Better management now...
for a better lambing/kidding season later
An improperly fitted harness can cause chafing of the under arm area of rams who have little wool cover in this location. The friction between the strap and the animal can rub the skin raw. Watch the videos below to learn proper fitting techniques.
Keeping proper flock records prevents (or at least reduces) organizational headaches later. So be sure to document harness crayon and raddle marks this breeding season. They’ll tell you more than who’s bred and the expected lambing/kidding dates. (Approx. 145 days after breeding.)
Breeding dates roughly outline deworming and vaccination timeframes.
When to start feeding late term gestation rations.
When to keep an eye on ewes for potential prolapses. (Late term w/ many lambs.)
Tracking sires that offer the most profit or those that are poor performing or inactive.
Produces bright, long-lasting marks that make it easy to identify which ewes have been bred. Takes the place of a marking harness. Use OB Gloves or Latex Gloves to keep the raddle off of your hands.
BlueLite provides palatable electrolytes, vitamins and readily available sources of energy and nutrients. Use during periods of dehydration in sheep and goats. Can help reduce heat stress.
Premier has partnered with Windy Ridge Veterinary Clinic to offer advice from our combined group of sheep experts. From fencing, grazing, feeding, lambing, health, genetics or general sheep care, we are here to help.
For induction of estrus in prepuberal gilts and weaned sows experiencing delayed return to estrus. 5 doses with diluent. 25 ml.
Use in combination with the Eazi-Breed CIDR. For best results, pull the CIDR after 10–13 days and give an injection of pg 600®. The ewe should exhibit heat 1-3 days following CIDR removal.
For induction of estrus in ewes (sheep) during seasonal anestrus. Seasonal anestrus is when ewes do not have regular estrous cycles outside the natural breeding season.
Using the product will require an applicator and some protective gloves. When inserting the CIDR into the ewe’s vaginal tract, we recommend an obstetrical lubricant with antibacterial activity.
