Hogget breeding can increase the number of lambs weaned on a farm each year and increase lifetime performance, but only if done correctly.

With the likelihood of a dry summer for many parts of New Zealand sheep farmers need to prepare now, says Professor Paul Kenyon, Massey University.

Achieving high lamb survival and growth rates to weaning is about matching ewes to their correct lambing paddock.  

Three Massey University agricultural scientists have been appointed advisors to a massive indoor sheep farming operation in China. This has potential to benefit New Zealand long term, says one of the scientists, Professor Hugh Blair.

April is the month when farmers need to make the final decision about hogget breeding for the year.  

Well-known sheep specialist Professor Paul Kenyon is the new head of Massey University’s Institute of Veterinary, Animal, and Biomedical Sciences.
