What are the effective measures for keeping a flock of sheep safe through the winter?
To keep a flock of sheep safe through the winter, it is not only necessary to create good environmental conditions, but also to strengthen overwintering management. Specifically, the following measures should be carried out well: 1 Focus on grazing and build up autumn fat. After the beginning of autumn, the days are short and the nights are long, and there is not enough grazing time. Relying only on daytime grazing means the sheep cannot eat their fill, so grazing time should be appropriately extended. Before the frost, they should go out early and return late; after the frost, they should go out late and return late, so that every sheep can eat grass and eat its fill. After the autumn harvest, the flock should promptly be driven to fields where crops have been harvested, to graze on the stubble and pick up weeds and scattered grain. If this is done well, they fatten faster, and this is also an important aspect of seizing autumn fat. By combining these practices, the flock can quickly gain fat and regain condition, laying a good foundation for safely getting through the winter.
