Lambing is one of the busiest and most demanding times of the year for farmers. Below, FUW Insurance Services Ltd highlights some key steps to help protect your flock and your farm during this important period.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensure staff are covered<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bringing in extra hands is common during lambing, but don\u2019t assume temporary or volunteer workers are automatically covered. Even if someone is short-term or unpaid, you\u2019re legally required to have Employers\u2019 Liability insurance in place. Making sure your staff are properly insured protects both you and those helping on your farm.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Check your flock cover<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Flock numbers can increase rapidly during lambing, and newly born lambs aren\u2019t always included in standard policies. If your cover isn\u2019t updated, you risk being underinsured – meaning a claim may not pay out in full. Make sure your insurance policy explicitly includes lambs to protect your income and avoid costly gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Prevent fire risks<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Keeping lambs safe and warm is essential. Lamb-warming lamps are useful but must be positioned safely, well away from straw and hay. It\u2019s also wise to have a qualified electrician inspect your shed\u2019s wiring and issue an Electrical Inspection Certificate (EIC), valid for five years. Simple steps like these help prevent accidents and keep both your flock and your farm secure.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Maintain good hygiene<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Lambing can bring risks from zoonotic diseases such as Orf, Campylobacteriosis, Cryptosporidiosis, and Ringworm. Provide hand-washing facilities and enforce good hygiene practices. Pregnant women should avoid animals that are giving birth, have recently lambed, or have aborted. If you expect visitors, take extra care and check that your Public Liability Insurance covers them.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Consider additional cover<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Standard farm insurance may not cover theft or attacks on livestock by dogs. Adding this as an optional extra could save you significant worry if the unexpected happens.<\/span><\/p>\n
