On Thursday I moved ewes and lambs onto a herbal ley, sown last autumn, aiming for 3 day moves. Yesterday morn (sat) they had grazed off more than I expected so moved them early that afternoon a bit hungrier than I’d of liked. Checked later that night to find the vast majority moderately bloated but seemingly fine not distressed. No difference this morning.
They have come off a high clover ley and had no problems there. There is a small amount of Lucerne in the mix and they always go for this and the sainfoin first. There’s also a few poppies in the mix(?) which they like but I’m a bit wary about.
Provided them with hay last night, any advice about what else I can do would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
