[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 7527456, member: 699"] AS I said on another thread about this, long term losses on outdoor lambing systems of ewes dying annually from all causes would always be around 3%. If they don't die in the winter then they seem to die at lambing time or with bad udders soon after! Ewes not rearing lambs though would be very low and much less than 1% post scanning. Lamb losses entirely down to weather conditions and numbers scanned. Under normal weather conditions (some wet and some dry) then between scanning and weaning also around 3%. Dry years like this one much less, wet and cold can easily go to 5%. [/QUOTE]
