Hello all, I have a few swaledale drafts which I put to the BFL and I sell a few mule gimmers in the backend. The ewes aren't caked all winter and just run on rough grazing but always scan 200% and lamb about 185% to 190%, with this being high for older ewes they need caked for 5 weeks prior to lambing and Atleast 8 weeks after lambing which isn't best as feed is going up and most likely not going to come down. In my mind they just have too many lambs on them and was thinking if there was any way of lowering the lambing percentage and having more singles on them, I know it sounds mad but any ideas how to achieve a lower lambing percentage.
Thanksyou
