The Synchronization Tool for Lambing Sheep with Chris & Jen Vervoort

Ontario Sheep Farmers Chris and Jen Vervoort share how they got into sheep farming and why they decided to start synchronizing their flock. They break down the two different systems to synchronizing sheep, the products used and the benefits of having the data to optimize the genetics of their flock. They give an overview of the advantages and benefits as well as the risks and downsides of synchronization and how they've measured lamb survival outcomes with synchronized versus natural exposures. Chris and Jen give some advise to producers at the beginning stages of the synchronization process and share how they manage mental health regarding sheep mortality plus much more.
