[QUOTE="tepapa, post: 3635050, member: 14120"] You may have something going on but by the sounds of it the nutrition might not quite be right either and could be adding to the problem. Milk/colostrum will be the last thing the ewe will put energy into after maintenance and fetal/lamb growth. You say its good haylage with a 19% CP conc. Could be a massive over supply of RDP with little DUP, Which could be leading to a lack of energy in the ration and lack of protein even though your feeding well. As an example, this years premium 18% conc with my local supplier has soya as the last item on the list so presumably 1 or 2% inclusion so will mainly be supplying RDP from rapemeal and very little DUP.
