[QUOTE="Al R, post: 6862460, member: 7565"] traditionally dad used to use a cereal based system feeding the twins and triplets with the snacker. Even with culling every year you could guarantee 30-40 out of 600, only 1-2 would be post lambing, most would be from 6-2 weeks pre lambing while being fed. ive moved onto a forage based system of turnips for the twins and triplets and grass for others where it’s available. This year I had 1 triplet 7 year old (a few days before lambing) all 3 survived and she’s rearing one as her udder was one sided. Another ewe which prolapsed was a 7 year old draft ewe, lambed triplets all fine a week later. Then a ewe lamb carrying twins who died from assuming toxicaemia? So 3/1280. Some of my ewes are BCS 5-7 and none prolapsed. I think it’s mainly down to not running for food each day or fighting for food? [/QUOTE]
