I have recently bought a few in lamb pedigree Beltex ? and I am in need of advice on lambing. Had Suffolk’s before and they were a nightmare! I want to be as prepared as possible with the beltex’ so How long prior to lambing to people bring them in? And mainly I’ve been told don’t feed them prior to lambing! Once they have and all going well what should I feed them? any Other tips would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Clam them up and then switch on the feed after lambing to get the milk pumping. Treat them mostly opposite to suffolks I would have thought!
