[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7941083, member: 348"] Isn’t that what lambing cameras are for?🤔 I employ a night lamber for the first week or so lambing my pedigree flock, as we have all the ET lambs born at the beginning as well as the natural mating lot starting. She’s not busy and they’re not a difficult lambing breed, but I need to make sure of who’s lambs are who’s for the pedigrees and ebvs to have any accuracy. After that, when they’ve slowed down, the camera and regular checks is enough. When we used to have 180-200 Pedigree ewes all due over a week, a night lamber was almost essential. As to cost, when our (exceptionally good) night lamber got to £14/hr, it was the catalyst to change away from Texel x ewes and onto outdoor lambing. The money’s just not in the job, not that that is the night lamber’s problem of course. [/QUOTE]
