Not sure wether fostering is as sucessful after a few days out as some people believe , certainly time/resource consuming and stressful for sheep,lamb and shepherd. personally if a ewe has one good lamb and all happy no problems leave alone -be grateful and have a easier /happier day
Yes works sometimes if the timing is perfect, not practical outside ,Put a mark on them and see how many you pick up cold or watch them nicking milk else were . As for stocks ,tying up near dogs ,skinning etc gave up all that got better more worthwhile things to do . Each to their own, l'm a farmer not god.Takes about 10 minutes tops to wet foster lambs onto ewes. Struggle to see how that's time and resource consuming, you could spend 10 mins a day getting a lamb to suck a bottle. Get it fostered and let the ewe do the work for the next 3 months.

I put a big F on the ewe and the foster lamb. Very very rarely do they ever cause any bother
