The Teagasc Ballinasloe office in Co Galway is organising a sheep event focusing on lambing on the farm of Martin Fleming, Mountbellew, Co Galway (H53 YD90) on Wednesday 21 January at 6.30pm.
The event will feature advice on pre-lambing management, lambing and post-lambing management.
Conor Geraghty, Farmgate Veterinary Group will carry out a live lambing demonstration along with delivering health tips.
This will dovetail with management advice on steps that can be taken to reduce lamb mortality including pre-lambing management of ewes to maximise performance. There will also be a session on management strategies for surplus lambs.
Meanwhile for farmers further afield the next Teagasc Let’s Talk Sheep Webinar taking place on 11 February 2026 will also discuss practical tips ahead of the lambing season. Pre-registration is required and can be easily completed at https://teagasc.ie/letstalksheep/.
