Frequently asked questions

For lambing success, preparation is everything. Ensuring clean, dry housing and providing high-quality colostrum for newborns are two of the top priorities. G Shepherd Animal Health offers specialist lambing-products including resuscitators, high-energy drench, and colostrum supplements. First-time lambs and twins especially benefit from extra support. Also, disinfection of pens and fresh bedding helps reduce challenge from pathogens during this critical time. Starting strong means fewer issues later on and healthier lambs joining your flock. With good planning and the right supplies, you set your flock up for a profitable season.

Lameness is one of the most common welfare and productivity issues in sheep farming, but it's often preventable. At G Shepherd Animal Health you'll find dedicated foot-health products including foot-bath solutions, sprays and mats designed specifically for sheep. Regular monitoring of feet, prompt treatment of early signs like scald or footrot, and a good foot-bath routine can make a major difference. Healthy feet lead to better grazing, feeding and overall condition — which, in turn, improves growth and profitability. Don't wait for problems to become big; prevention + early intervention is the key.

Good nutrition is central to sheep health, whether it's for growing lambs, pregnant ewes or maintenance stock. G Shepherd Animal Health's nutrition section offers mineral drenches, boluses (with or without copper) and feed blocks tailored to sheep. For example, copper levels must be balanced carefully — both deficiency and excess carry risks. Ensuring adequate vitamins, trace-elements and energy helps lamb growth, ewe fertility and wool quality. Consistent, correct nutrition means your flock is more resilient to stress, disease and changing pasture conditions.

Colostrum is the first milk a lamb receives and it's packed with vital antibodies and energy to kick-start life. If a lamb doesn't get sufficient quality colostrum within its first few hours, it's at higher risk of illness or poor performance. G Shepherd Animal Health offers specialist lamb colostrum powders and kits to ensure you're ready even when mother's supply may be lacking. Having the right backup ensures lambs still get that critical early nutrition, which builds immunity, supports growth and sets them up to thrive.

For those involved in show-flocks or premium wool production, presentation and condition matter. The sheep section of G Shepherd Animal Health includes products and equipment for "Show Preparation of Sheep" and "Clipping & Shearing Equipment". Whether you're trimming for a competition or simply want your flock looking its best for sale or breed promotion, having the right shearing gear, hygiene products and finishing touches helps. A well-presented sheep not only stands out, it reflects the quality of your flock and management.
