[Becky1992]

I got suffolks and they all lambed perfect!! This time round!!
6 boys and one ewe lamb stand strong and good mums. Always fend are Kelpie off.

Although I found once the lambs were born they had no get up and go I had to keep getting them up to drink so they wouldn't give up!

In terms of selling them on the following year, is there a general.preference from buyers (tupped as lambs or not tupped)? Or is it just whichever yours aren't???!

Around here, it doesn't seem to make much difference price wise.

I think most people prefer gimmers which have suckled as Hogg's, because maiden gimmers can be dicks...
