Sheep polytunnels for safer lambing seasons Hampshire

Lambing season is one of the most critical periods in the UK farming calendar. With around 16 million ewes giving birth each year, mainly between November and May, peaking in February and March, farmers face a busy and often unpredictable few months. During this time, the welfare of both ewes and their newborn lambs depends heavily on providing the right environment. Harsh weather, cold temperatures, and damp conditions can threaten the health of young lambs, especially when it comes to hypothermia and respiratory illness.

For farmers, the challenge is twofold: protect the flock from the elements and create an environment where new life can thrive. That’s where sheep polytunnels come in. Strong, weather-resistant, and easy to manage, they provide shelter and optimal conditions for lambing. They allow farmers to focus on care rather than constantly battling the weather. Below, we explore how sheep polytunnels keep ewes and lambs safe, and why McGregor Agri Span is a trusted name for flexible livestock housing.
