Kevin first explains what’s involved in the task for lowland and hill producers. He talks about ram eligibility and how to identify these rams using the Sheep Ireland ram search tool or the sales catalogues. Finally, he discusses the numbers of eligible rams that are available via the Sheep Ireland ram search at: ramsearch.ie For more episodes from the OviCast podcast, visit the show page at: https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/sheep/ovicast-sheep-podcast
