[QUOTE="Sir loin, post: 6763612, member: 1637"] This year my 120 ewe flock (lleyns) have scanned 218 % (last year 186% year before 165%) , we have never had a percentage like this 20 singles, 64 sets of twins, 30 sets of triplets and 6 sets of quads. I usually house ewes the day the first one lambs(due to start April 1st) but with a lot more multiples than I have ever had, when would you house the 36 ewes carrying triplets and quads? Would you separate and feed and still keep them outside as long as possible. The ewes are in good condition CS score 4 + with the exception of two which I have housed with the fattening hogs.
