| Predator Control Field Days: Wean More Lambs & Calves | | The three Predator Control Days were organized as a direct result of the widespread losses of both sheep and cattle in the north and central west regions and the interest being demonstrated for guard animals such as Alpacas and Maremmas as alternative methods of protection. A large number of sheep and wool growers are leaving the industry due to severe losses of up to 30 -40% lambs and even higher incidence of dog bites to stock, caused by wild dogs and other predators. In the north and central west regions Leading Sheep and AWI Bestprac joined forces to promote the concept of “integrated pest management control “ providing a forum for producers. Full details of the field days can be found in this document that is available for download here. | |
