[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6701529, member: 348"] I’ve never heard of diet effecting ratio of ewes to rams, and would doubt it very much. My early lambers (who lambed a fortnight ago) were in the best fettle they’ve ever been at tupping time thanks to the better grazing season here, and certainly didn’t receive any grain or hard feed. They too ran at 2/3 females, unusually (which is I agree unfortunate in a ram breeding flock). Incidentally, there were 6 ET lambs born from frozen embryos in that mob, which had been conceived last year, and they too ran at 2/3 females. I fully expect the later mob of pedigree (or ‘stud’ ewes) to sort the average out though. [/QUOTE]
