Iv had my share of issues I do admit. But not totally sure what I’m meant to do other than what I already am for years

Usually been not to bad with ewe lambs feeding but had none to lamb last year so think I got out off routine off feeding them and paid for it now. But will know for next year

It is when I only had 80 to begin with

Between the ewes and few ewe lambs about 11%. Lost 1 ewe last year for entire year

Ewes all lambed no problem with it and milk quality was great. But the first time lambing shearlings and ewe lambs i underfed them abit as was wary off lambs too big. So wouldn’t have got the same vitamins in them compared to the ewes. The meal has extra vitamin e added as standard for the mix

Just ewe lambs and hoggets lambs low on vitamin e cause I made a mess off their feeding. Ewes lambed no problem apart from to many ewe deaths

lost another 2 lambs over night inside from what I think was vitamin e issues. May I ask some advice, i have vitamin e injection to give new borns. But 1 vet says give half ml each and other vet says give 1ml each ? Just wondering what others give. These are the lambs I put outside yesterday...

Yeah all silage here. No other option with way they are housed for winter. Was to be dry here today and light showers afternoon. Had did have 2 showers but got 6 mm in them. So glad I didn’t try anything outside today

2 took something and faded away to skeletons and died. Had some take listerious. 1 ewe lamb took pneumonia. 1 triplet must had dead lambs inside as she was sick on evening and was dead by bedtime. Then had c section ewe die to 3 weeks after she had it. Never had one die before after a c section...

Thank you. I’m glad I’m lambing all inside. Lambed ewes lambs after the ewes in hope be better weather for smaller lambs to be turned out but not this year

I started lambing on the 22nd Feb, was told by family and friends I’m stupid and useless for lambing so early and wait to middle march like others do. So far I have 20 ewes and lambs outside about 3 weeks and all the rest is still inside on silage as never more than a hour off dry weather...

Ahh thank you. I haven’t seen the channel to subscribe. Il have a peak

Sorry I’m struggling to know what channel you all are talking about ? Curious to find out for myself what it’s about

I find opposite for mine. Having small numbers I hate see them not having a lamb on them for first year. So far even with the prolapse I’m having less issues with ewe lambs lambing than shearlings for their first time

It’s ok today. Vets been for tb test and checked her and says shel be good now
