[QUOTE="Yale, post: 4699306, member: 19"] This is where our systems vary. We never tup our ewe lambs,we let them grow and mature unstressed.I was actually surprised that one of the worlds leading sheep expert [USER=493]@Global ovine[/USER] advocated not lambing ewe lambs due to the reduction in performance over their lifetime and lack of financial benefit.It has been fashionable to breed from ewe lambs however I would say the ones who get away with it are mainly lowland with good body weights at tupping and do them well. Second thing is we feed our ewes well throughout the year and you may be finding cutting back on hard feed and relying on forage is a false economy. Hindsight is great. Do you think you have cut back too far on bought in nutrition? [/QUOTE]
