In our second Planfarm Landline Video, Paul and Mike dive into the evolving landscape of sheep enterprises, discussing key strategies for decision-making, system efficiency, and future profitability. With industry challenges and market fluctuations, they emphasise the importance of having a clear, structured selling strategy—highlighting the impact of timing, pricing signals, and market opportunities. They explore the benefits of shifting lambing windows to improve flexibility and optimise feed availability while balancing cropping operations. The discussion also covers the increasing adoption of confinement feeding, the role of nutrition in maximising efficiency, and emerging research on probiotics and homegrown feed utilisation. Importantly, they stress the value of gradual system changes, celebrating small wins, and ensuring long-term sustainability. With promising signs ahead for sheep profitability in 2025, Planfarm remains committed to helping clients develop strategies that position them for success in a changing agricultural environment. Stay tuned for more insights in future episodes.
