Yesterday we heard that a fire in a vitamin production facility in Germany has resulted in shortages of both vitamin A and E. Yaremcio talked about risk factors for vitamin deficiencies. Today he discusses environmental factors and how to manage the situation.

To Cull Or Keep? It's decision time at Ewetopia Farms. Today, we tackle one of the toughest parts of sheep farming—deciding which sheep stay as part of our breeding program and which ones will be culled and sent to market.We start by getting another batch of ram lambs ready for shipping, a job that never gets easier no matter how many times we do it. Then, we move on to our older ewes to evaluate whether they’re still fit to produce lambs for another season. These decisions are never made lightly. We carefully consider their age, past lambing records, udder health, and overall condition.
