[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6433846, member: 348"] Speak to your ET vet and they will be able to advise. It's in their interests to get good results too, after all. Basically, you just want to treat them as you would any other sheep that you are looking to maximise lamb numbers, so they are all in optimum condition to perform. Sort any health issues and trace element deficiencies well in advance of the program, and ideally choose donors and recips with a good reproductive history. Picking sheep that struggled to get in lamb naturally, for whatever reason, won't help them to suddenly become productive. I have changed from flushing early in the season, to doing a group in October, and results have been much better for it. It's always been a bit variable when you are pushing them against biological limits by going early. Obviously, if you ae chasing the next big thing in the ram sales, you will need them lambing early though. [USER=8724]@Ysgythan[/USER] will have more experience flushing Texels than me. [/QUOTE]
