[QUOTE="Al R, post: 6737337, member: 7565"] [USER=3403]@Woolless[/USER] i meant time to chill after a big supper, depending on number of triplets to adopt might go down the shed at 9-10 for half an hour but that’s it till morning then. Dead shepherd/dead sheep comes to mind.... [USER=348]@neilo[/USER] thats what I don’t get about a lot of people in far colder climates than me lambing in January/February/early March having these huge 120 rest days etc and still having to creep all the lambs, my fields get 42 days normally between scanning and ewes back on the fields for lambing and those fields will/could grow with them for the rest of the year finishes a large proportion of the lambs with no creep. If I can’t lamb earlier or see no gains in growth from January born lambs compared to March born lambs then without creep I can’t see how anyone else can? The 120 rest days for paddocks therefore means the ewes are grazing other people’s land at a cost, root crops at a cost or locked in a shed - at a huge cost, reduce numbers per acre and run them outside with little/no bought in feedstuffs used except for exceptional circumstances is the way most of us are heading - not that you need telling Neilo but it’s about time some of the community woke up..... [USER=37654]@rhuvid[/USER] thats a hell of a lot of treatments to do at once! Must be a team of you just for a few days I take it? [/QUOTE]
