    That’s a good scan, neighbour with gray face ewes over here had 245%,, Absolute nightmare. Great vid as always 👍

      I agree. Anything over 200% turns into hard work at lambing... glad you enjoyed 👌

    Well lad what application were you using at the end with the scanning results and also what reader have ya? Thanks

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's s report from Sheep Ireland App. It's limited how much information available from Sheep Ireland. I'm currently trying out 2 other software packages for performance recording. Will make a video on it soon.... reader is an APR600.

    Do you feel like the breed of sheep makes a difference when it comes to forage vs birth weights or lambing difficulties?

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว

      Breed certainly has a bearing on lambing difficulties but body condition and especially diet in the last 6 weeks of pregnancy has a significant influence.

  • @JPMcLoughlin
    @JPMcLoughlin ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is that a specific SW package?
    I used TGM with the AWR300 reader. Find it pretty good.

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi JP. I use the APR600, hasn't a great reach but find it easy to put plenty of data in especially at lambing. Will make a video on the software package I'm using around lambing time...

    Do you cull empty hoggets or give them another chance?

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I always give them another chance. Found it very unusual that a young sheep will not produce a lamb at some stage. Also noticed empties in the young sheep becoming more of a problem every year so I vaccinated all hoggets and ewe lambs for Toxo and Enzo this year..

    How long did you fast the ewes for scanning and what is the app you’re using at the end? Im enjoying your videos Thanks

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว

      The ewes were fasting for 2 hours or so. The ones we couldn't find didn't fast at all. It made things a little slower. Will run through the software I'm using in the near future, video in the pipeline..

    What is the breed

    Hi, what is the EID reader you use?
    What would you consider to be the pro's and cons of it, in terms of keeping records?

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Maurice. I was using paper for all record keeping but I found this becomes less useful and time consuming as the amount of data increases. The EID reader can transfer all data to the computer by simply plugging it in. The data is much easier to make use of when on the computer.

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      EID reader is Agrident APR600.
