[QUOTE="Woolless, post: 6633077, member: 3403"] Having made a very moderate job of the ewe lambs the previous year, I changed things this time. Brought them all into the shed mid January when ewes went on to sacrifice field. Fed hay/haulage and 300g of 16% cake. Second half of March the untupped and scanned empties went out to grass. Singles on to 200g/day of 18% ewe rolls. Twins in with triplet ewes and fed 400g ewe rolls twice daily. I don't think you can feed them enough. The first couple of singles to lamb (very late March) were a little bit slow with their milk but the rest lambed a treat. Another system that worked well was some that I wintered on some very rough grass on a farm where I had taken some other decent keep. I kept a feed block in front of them (I was only there once weekly) and they came through the winter in great form. [/QUOTE]
