Geoff Duddy from Sheep Solutions ran a workshop on Lamb Marking best practice and gave a practical demonstration. Geoff has spent over 20 years servicing regional, state, and national sheep and wool producers, specialising in sheep meat production, new and introduced sheep breeds, pasture and grain-based finishing systems and marketing. Lamb marking and mulesing practice has changing and developing all the time, it is important that producers are kept up to date with the current best practice. Lambs should be marked between two and 12 weeks of age with the youngest lamb being at least 24 hours old. If lambing extends for more than six weeks, you could consider having two mulesing/marking sessions. There has been an influx of young farmers returning to the area and family farms over the past few years, lamb marking best practice has changed over this time, so it is important to keep them informed of the current best practice. It is also important to keep the older generation up to date with the legislation and best practice as it can be easy for them to get stuck in their old ways.
