Sheep Pregnancy Scanning in Cootamundra

Scanning your ewes ahead of lambing gives you a clear picture of what your flock is doing before the season demands your full attention across the property. We provide accurate ultrasound pregnancy scanning with EID data recording for sheep farmers across the Cootamundra district, helping you identify dry ewes, singles and multiples early so you can allocate feed and paddocks where they are needed most. In a region where seasonal conditions can shift the pressure on feed resources quickly, having that information locked in early is a genuine advantage worth planning around.

Lamb Marking & Mulesing in Cootamundra

Around Cootamundra, getting through lamb marking in the right window can make a noticeable difference to how well lambs settle back into the mob and how the season progresses from that point. We carry out lamb marking and mulesing across properties in the Cootamundra district, working through tailing, castrating, ear tagging, mulesing and vaccinating methodically and with care. Our team understands how important it is to keep the cradle moving without rushing the job, and we take the time to make sure every lamb is handled to a proper standard before it goes back to the paddock.

Sheep Crutching in Cootamundra

Keeping on top of crutching through the season is one of the most practical things sheep farmers around Cootamundra can do to reduce flystrike pressure without relying heavily on chemical intervention. We work across properties in the Cootamundra region, getting through mobs efficiently and making sure the breech and surrounding areas are clipped back properly to remove the conditions that attract blowflies in the first place. Fitting a crutching run in ahead of the highest risk period gives your flock a much better chance of coming through summer without a significant flystrike problem.

EID Recording & Data Management in Cootamundra

For sheep operations across Cootamundra looking to get more out of their flock management, consistent EID recording at key handling events is one of the most straightforward ways to start building data that is actually useful. We record EID tags for sheep information accurately during contracting visits across the Cootamundra district, capturing individual animal data at scanning, marking and treatment events so your records stay current without requiring separate musters or additional handling. Over time, that accumulated data becomes a valuable tool for assessing flock performance and making better management decisions across the operation.

Drenching & Vaccinating in Cootamundra

Staying ahead of worm pressure in the Cootamundra region means keeping a consistent drenching and vaccinating program running through the year rather than waiting for condition losses to signal a problem. We carry out sheep drenching and vaccinating across Cootamundra properties with proper dosing technique and careful stock handling, slotting it in efficiently alongside other contracting work to reduce the number of separate handling events your mob needs to go through. A well-managed program keeps your sheep in better condition, supports better weight gains and takes the guesswork out of flock health management through every season.
