[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 8670575, member: 198"] I lamb one lot of Beltex/Texels inside and 1 lot of mule and Texel x mule outside. The inside ones start a week before the outside. They all get checked 6 -6.30 ish, the outside ones are then checked at midday and towards dusk, when they are fed. I always feed everything early evening because I think it reduces night lambs. I don't check outside ones during the night, I don't get up in the night for the inside ones either unless I see something on the camera when get up for a pee and even then I don't look too closely :ROFLMAO: . With the outside ones I try and leave them alone as much as I can, otherwise they may as well be in. I think some people are a bit over keen to interfere. Binoculars are great for saving time and minimising disturbance. I make sure I ring the outdoor lambs in the first 12 hours otherwise you can't catch them. Also I number the ewes before lambing, makes it much easier to identify ewes that need checking or keeping an eye on. [/QUOTE]
