Sounds like a keeper, fair play to him, did his job well

That time of year again, the boys won’t be happy! When does everyone else remove from the flock [emoji231]

I just finished lambing and crossed some, was wondering what kind of replacements they would make. Nice looking lambs

Sorry Easycare Ram [emoji28]

No worries about tapeworms, usually go from our lambs after 3-4 months

Anyone every cross an Easycare ram with mule ewes? If yes, what is your experience with how the lambs turned out? Thanks

Has anyone ever used these or have any advice? Thanks folks

We dose the ewes before lambing and then aim to the lambs at 3-4 weeks old. Just give the lamb one shot as antibodies get passed on from the ewes

Interesting point. A theory also that it draws them into a place and encourages them to take livestock

We put iodine on when doing with rings , find it helps. Had a lamb last year who came good after 4 months!

Thanks. A lot of milk on one side and lumpy on the other. Will try foster one of them if an opportunity arises

I have a mule ewe with loads of milk on one side, lumpy on the other. She hasn’t responded to Tylan after 10 days. Any hope of her rearing twins?

Checked the ewe this morning and head was coming, the harness was in the way and wasn’t helping. Assisted her - she had twins and both doing well. Will leave the harness on for a few days to be on the safe side. Thanks for all the advice folks [emoji106]

Have the harness on the past few days, she’s gone by herself today so very close to lambing but not forcing yet. If no lamb in the morning I intend to take the lambs (she scanned twins) by hand

Hi folks, have a ewe who was pushing out last night and then it went back in for 24 hours, it’s back out again tonight. Should I be worried or any advice?
