50+ tips for making it through winter

It’s looking like the third or fourth winter following a dry summer and autumn, and with global warming now a reality, this could be the long-term norm.

- Words Dr Clive Dalton

Winter is a critical time for pregnant livestock, and for finding out if you have too many stock for your (and their) own good.

It’s a good time to think long-term about your farming enterprise and how to plan for future extreme weather events, especially with livestock where water is a major issue.

Feeding stock, many of which will now be well into pregnancy, is the main priority, so if things are not working out then get help sooner rather than later.
