Same here. As soon as the navel is crisp if the weather is right they are out. Some years we don’t use all the pen hurdles. Then others we use them, the handling hurdles, pallets, bits of crap mesh I found. Every damn year is different.once navels dry they go out here if healthy but I would say we have had some fairly decent weather in the last few years. Soon backs up with a couple of rough days
When Grandad was on Welsh ewes he used too put 10 families per section on the wagon, so 20 ewes per deck. Back into the field gate, lose the lot and sit on the backboard, smoke a Hamlet and when he’d finished that he would have 1/2 families too sort out. I daren’t try more than 5’s with mules. They struggle to count like the little welshies could!!We used to have a crazy system, would take maybe 15ewes with twins out to the field, lmbs on top deck, then fling them out and have to mother them up.
I put 25 ewes with twins on my trailer, drive into the field and chuck the lambs out the side door then release the ewes and drive off as fast as I can, iv never had a problem with them not being mothered up when I check in the afternoon. They do go from individual pens into there pens of 25 ewes at 24 hours old then kick them into the field after 2 days in there. 500 mules have 70 individual pens and can make another 25 out of prattey hurdles when it gets really busy.When Grandad was on Welsh ewes he used too put 10 families per section on the wagon, so 20 ewes per deck.

We usually end up with a lot in the telehandler bucket at lambing time!2013in the snow I had six ewes and their lambs in stock box and one in the telehandler bucket
