Frequently asked questions about livestock
About cattle, sheep, goats and poultry
When is the tupping season for sheep?
Sheep mainly come into season in autumn, as the days get shorter. With a raddle harness and raddle crayon on the ram, the colour on their backs shows you which ewes have been tupped. Change colour after about 17 days, so you can see which ewes return.
Why should I hang a cattle brush in the barn?
Cows love to groom themselves. A cattle brush helps keep the coat clean and adds comfort, especially when the animals are housed indoors. Hang the brush where the animals can reach it easily, without it being in the walkway.
How often should I trim my cows' hooves?
Claws are usually trimmed twice a year, for example before housing and before the grazing season. In between, check regularly that your animals are walking well and call in a hoof trimmer or vet if there is any lameness.
How do I hang a heat lamp safely?
Always hang the lamp securely from a chain and away from straw and other flammable materials. Use a suitable fitting and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Watch how the animals behave: if they huddle together under the lamp, it's too cold. If they lie far away from it, it's too warm.
How do I stop my chickens' drinking water from freezing?
Put the drinker in a frost-free place, for example in the coop, and refresh the water daily. In severe frost you can use a heated base. In freezing weather, check several times a day that your chickens can still drink.
How can I mark my livestock?
For temporary marking, for example after a treatment or at tupping, use marking spray or a marking stick. Collars and number tags are handy for recognition within the herd. This marking does not replace official ear tags or registration.
