Developed by New Zealand sheep farmer, in the early 1990s, Woolovers all-wool lamb covers have saved hundreds of thousands of lambs around the world, For management reasons lambing is most often carried out at a time of the year subject to adverse conditions, putting survival of many lambs at risk, there is no doubt that fitting a woolover cover as soon as possible after birth can turn losses into profit, lamb mortality can be dramatically reduced, Not only are survival rates increased but trials have proven lambs in woolover covers gain 2/3 of a kg more weight in their first three weeks compared to uncovered lambs, it is recommended that covers are left in place for up to 3 weeks [remove at docking time] to get maximum benefit.
