[QUOTE="unlacedgecko, post: 8096994, member: 19130"] Just on lameness, I've been lucky enough to do quite a bit contract work on a large flock (2500+ ewes) and not seen a single lame ewe or lamb. I've worked on other flocks where the lameness is less than 1%, mainly closed maternal flocks. But then I've seen others where lameness appears endemic. It's claimed tail docking is done for welfare reasons, to reduce daggs and fly strike. Of the people that are breeding replacement females, how many are dagg scoring? How many are breeding for reduced tail length? [/QUOTE]
