[QUOTE="Guleesh, post: 9267237, member: 147187"] In our system we don't record conditions, but we do pull out low condition ewes for feeding and record this event happening, ewes needing fed are spread pretty equally across all age groups - around a tenth of the flock this year, but it varies greatly depending on the winter. There's gimmers getting fed and there's 5 crop and above not getting fed. Generally older ewes that need fed for the first time are then on their last year, sometimes young sheep needing fed are suffering fluke damage and will fully recover so get a second chance, but are B flock from then on.
