You'll forget all about how hard lambing time was in a coupla months when your walking round the fields looking at big strong lambs.

HOW MUCH?

Have thought of setting up a system like @Gator 's for the lambing pens for a coupla years now but the sheep start lambing next week and still havn't got round to setting it up so yet another year will go by with filling buckets with water for the ewes.

Calcium and Propelyne glycol in small doses 5-6 times a day if u have the time to do it.

392kg

20% is a great increase in a year.

Tried a couple of frontera Rams last year. Lambs were very fast to their feet, grew fairly fast off grass and had good feet but didn't kill out as good as the texel & charlois.

A friend of mine told me last week that over here (in n.ireland ) that to be quality assured you now can't bed with sawdust. It has to be straw but I'm not sure if it's true or not. Anyone else got any info on this?

Yes it will work very well.

Goretex but their expensive.

Good looking sheep coloured or not coloured.

As far as I know the best way is teaser in for 14 days then teaser out and tup straight in. U have to be careful to keep the ewes well away from any tups in the run up to putting the teasers in too.

Great lamb. What tup is it from?

was the head out for long before you intervened? did it swell up?

Indoor laming is something completely different to outdoor. Very different setup, very different sheep and very different way of working things.
