Feedig Ewes Post Lambing

Just about halfway with my lambing this year, going extremely well but need to get the next bit right this year
as in I would like all lambs finished and gone Nov/Dec at the latest, my question is feeding Ewes once they go back out, do folks keep up with feeding rolls and how long for?
the last couple of years they fly away then Plato mid-summer and I struggle to get them to a good size to finish
I'm aware we have had two really dry summers but others were getting them away much earlier than me
looks like at the minute the grass should fly away next month so do plan on having good grass for some time
Just need to get the feeding right I think, and keep the Ewes milky

Mine are on really lush grass and I’m feeding 0.2kg a ewe of rolls also .. ideally I’d prefer too split the group in half and feed half them 0.5kg and the other half 0.2 as iv a lot in quite poor condition but I didn’t have the time for thinking like that while turning out
