Reproduction Management Accelerated Lambing Cycles

Accelerated lambing is a management system designed to reduce the time between lamb crops, so ewes produce lambs more frequently than once per year.

When combined with the right genetics, nutrition, and health program, this system can increase flock productivity, improve year-round lamb availability, and create more marketing opportunities. This management system also requires careful planning and higher management intensity.
