This week, we hear from sheep farmer Joanne Devaney, as she talks about what has been happening on farm since her last video along with upcoming plans. Topics discussed in these videos include:

  • Preparing rams for breeding.
  • The benefits of using harnesses & crayons in breeding.
  • Dosing and vaccinations.
  • Weaning lambs.
  • Updates on the sheep trade and prices.
  • If you have any questions about any of our case study farmers, feel free to email your questions to studyguidevideos@farmersjournal.ie.

    Throughout the 2020-2021 school year, the Irish Farmers Journal will be releasing videos from each of our case study farmers, where they will give us an update on their on-farm progress.

    By the end of the school year in 2021, each student who signs up to this year’s study guides will have access to five sector-by-sector mini case studies. You can visit www.farmersjournal.ie/agsci for full details on how to sign up to this year’s programme, or email agsci@farmersjournal.ie.
