Any tricks to minimise feet issues when finishing lambs indoors on straw bedding ? Or am I asking the impossible
I can’t work out why but I never get bad feet with lambs inside. Have 700 inside now and can honestly say not a lame one in them it must help just being on a stone base under the straw and have one shed with concrete and get more trouble there.Any tricks to minimise feet issues when finishing lambs indoors on straw bedding ?

Try rape straw if you have someWheat straw
We have had lambs in since August (different batches) and only had one lame. I cant work out why. We are wheat straw on stone. Put some on a concrete yard for a couple of days whilst i mucked out and noticed the straw over concrete was alot wetter.I can’t work out why but I never get bad feet with lambs inside.
