Sheep Consultancy Services
Sheep Health
Good management can go a long way to preventing health problems.
From running three clinics in two states, we know how hectic business can be from experience.
For Flocks Sake offers a range of services to maintain the health and wellbeing of your flock while ensuring maximum profits for your business.
From overarching production system planning to development and coaching - this is what we love to do.
Our support and planning packages help producers who miss more by "not looking than not knowing" due to the hectic pace of mixed farming operations. We also bring accountability into your system ensuring we stay on target.
Our services include production project management and problem solving.
We educate and assist you in growing the best sheep regardless of breed, type of operation and geography.
Our key programs revolve around:
Join right
Scan Right
Lamb Right
Wean right
Measure right
Our pre-joining ram exams and Brucellosis testing assess for breeding health well in advance of joining. This is to help make sure we execute solid joining performances.
As veterinarians, we also supply on farm medications like pain relief for marking and ACP for shearing as well as disease and production "playbooks".
Our health services revolve around "Control the Controllables".
We also provide technical research services and AAV accredited export services.
Sheep Genetics
For Flocks Sake provides artificial insemination services for sheep and cattle, offering breeders the opportunity to maximise production potential.
We have done AI programs for large and small clients and we are constantly look for ways to make it easier. 1 years AI has a payback period of 10years for ewe progeny and rams will still have granddaughters in the system 16 years later
Sheep Breeding Data
Our dream is to make all your sheep accountable employees with our data services. From there we can identify the passengers from the performers who are actually earning their grass.
Joining ewe lambs is an exciting tool to use, but to make it work you need to have a plan - hitting joining weights and growth rates.
Weaning is the same - a great opportunity to minimise loss and maximise genetic performance. Measuring target weaning rates, planning for post weaning growth and taking care of the bottom 25% all adds up.
For Flocks Sake provides you with data collection and management services.
Our analysis tools assist in utilising information so you can make more informed production and breeding decisions.
We implement simple commercial EID programs as well as provide you with EID equipment hire.
We are here to help you make informed decisions and to make the process as easy as possible.
