[QUOTE="Liiz, post: 6288182, member: 131496"] Thanks for that Yellowbelly. Lovely barn, Gator. Exactly what my imaginary farmer needs! Now here's what I've understood but will you kindly correct all my balls-ups? Plea-ease? Gator's farm lambs end of Feb Bring sheep back (into the barn?) end of Jan to settle in because the grounds getting poached by then. Has to pay for silage and substrate for that month = a trade-off. BUT there are also some sheep that hang out on moorland (better for feet) and they don't come in until they're about to lamb, which saves money on silage/ bedding? When the sheep come in off the moor, how long til the first one starts lambing IDEALLY? Have you got this wrong at all since you've had the barn? What sort of field do they go into? (The nice green walled-off fields that I see driving through the white Peak / Yorkshire / possibly lancs, or can they go straight out to moorland? Is this done? Y the way, DID I mention tgat looks like a lovely barn? With I'd done my lambing rotations in something like that. Thanks [/QUOTE]
