I lambed my Shetlands in June last year. Wasn't great.I have had a bunch of sheep that have been running with one tup since mid November. I thought I better put another in with a raddle in as I had one in the trailer. I’ve let him out and he is tupping 2 ewes like mad. It’s going to be a nervous couple of days before I know if it’s just a coincidence or my new expensive tup is a jaffa.
Why, where they to fat?
No, assistance rate still below 2%.
I’ve had it before when they had toxo. Usually put other tups in after 3 weeks. But was very un well in December and didn’t get round to it. Oh well nothing like shearing 250 ewes then having to fly back home to lamb a ewe with a head sticking out make the day go badly.

....mind you i managed 3 consecutive months this last year without a lambing
Ah so you want to buy them then, they are nice and small so easy to handle, have a smart bushy long tail and never jump out, I will send the bill with the lorry in morning.tis the future
@Global ovine says an accelerated lambing system on home grown forage only will yield a gross margin similar to dairy, without the infrastructure investment.@spin cycle is your expert on AYRL
They wouldn’t suit his extensive system if they don’t get out, he’d be bored!!Ah so you want to buy them then, they are nice and small so easy to handle, have a smart bushy long tail and never jump out, I will spend the bill with the lorry in morning.
Now did say they won’t get out did I? I said they won’t jump, the warranty doesn’t cover pushing under fences.They wouldn’t suit his extensive system if they don’t get out, he’d be bored!!
