[QUOTE="Guleesh, post: 8199984, member: 147187"] Haha, It was a year ago you said it but it struck a chord, and stuck with me. :ROFLMAO: Our experience when we did run sheep with lambs on long grass was that only about one in ten of them seemed to cope with it, they produced quite acceptable lambs. If our sheep were confined all year round then we'd be obviously only be breeding from those and I don't see there'd be much issue. Our issue is that we've got bigger problems to solve with breeding atm, the success of our sheep depends on their ability to winter. The difference between having the ability to survive on next to nothing all winter and the ability to not be a shitshow on long grass is too big. Would need to be separate flocks on very different paths. [/QUOTE]
