I could give you the sub headings I wrote and you can fill in your own info from there if you think it would help get you started? Perhaps I should hire myself out to write them
. So here are the headings I used, if you need more info just shout and I can try and suggest bits to put in
Intro - a bit like a mission statement of what you want to achieve
Biosecurity policy - measures to keep infectious & contagious disease off the premises and contain it if it arrives (isolation policy, DEFRA regs, preventative drug administration, feed storage and supplies, treatment of quarantined animals)
prevention of non infectious disease (foot trimming, fly control, shearing, dagging etc)
Pretupping policies (condition scoring, health checks worming strategy, flushing, crutching, nutrition strategy to include vits & minerals)
pre lambing policies (vaccination strategy, nutrition policy, housing,
Lambing policies (housing, nutrition, medication & procedures)
Weaning (age, strategy, health checks)
Cull and retention policy
registration of stock (we breed pure bred sheep)
Timetable of key dates (year planner)
The end... It's really good when you get going and writing it all down. You can also use it as an exercise in finding out about best practices. Remember though it's a working document so may change depending on numerous factors and can be tailored to suit individual circumstances etc. If you find something doesn't work then it can be taken out or amended at a later date.
Let me know if anyone needs more info
