    Lambing ease gestation length

    Mating mixed mobs of ewe lambs and flock age ewes always seems to knock the % on the ewe lambs. They just don’t end up getting entertained by the tup.

    Just a few things - bandb pigs are never going to be a go there, no chance. re dairy heifers, there aren’t many dairy’s anywhere near, and I don’t want to be shipping cattle in from other areas, and to be honest it’s not dairy cow ground. I’ve got sheep, and they will be lambing there and...
