Lambing season has begun for the Obermayer family on their goat farm in Wendland. Now it is important to check regularly whether the goats need help giving birth or can manage everything on their own. And they actually have to help with one animal because the lamb is lying in the wrong position. Calmly but determinedly, Veronica takes action and gives birth to the little ram. In the Harz foothills, farmer Johannes Bercht is waiting for the vet for the monthly pregnancy check on his cows. He wants to have nine animals examined that day in the hope that as many as possible have become pregnant. But because his trainees are away at school or on a course, he lacks helping hands to sort out the right cows. In order to save costs in the new 2024 season, farm manager Markus Walkusch-Eylandt is trying out various direct sowing methods on a trial field in the Ochsenwerder greenhouse. Sowing plant seeds yourself is generally cheaper than buying young plants. He tests with different seeds and has to work his way towards the right amount of seed. At Hof Berg in Schleswig-Holstein, Meike Teschemacher looks for the right breeding partners for the cows on the farm. To do this, she looks through a catalogue in which the most important breeding characteristics of the bulls are described. The aim is to get healthy and physically well-built calves through planned breeding. ___________________________________________________ Our guidelines for comments: https://www.ndr.de/service/technische... #ndr #ndraufmland #hofgeschichten
