Is it not a pain to move on the ewes and lambs on from the unlambed? Some days we'll have over 20 ewes lamb can't picture how we'd move them on from the group efficiently without having to do it individuallyWe do it the other way, leaving unlambed and moving lambed through pens into other fields while ringing them at 2-3 days old.
When I see how many folk are lambing and how few interventions they do I must have bred the wrong sheep. 220 this year, twins only fed 3 weeks, outside all winter and through lambing, 35 hoggs which can be some work. Don't interfere too much but watch regularly to check on progress 3 or 4 times a day and if none and all I can feel is a head not sure how many would have had a live lamb.
Home bred and select from twin lambs only.
