[QUOTE="d.iainm, post: 307860, member: 130"] Toying with the idea of housing my ewes for 4 weeks pre lambing. Plan would be to house them once they are gathered of the hill then let them out once they start lambing. At the moment where i feed them gets poached and muddy and the little grass there is gets hammered. It will prob cost me more to feed them but hoping there would be less waste and the grass will be in better shape for them to go onto once they start lambing. The building where i would plan to house them would be open on one side so would have plenty air flow but would I be better having sheeted gates there to shelter them a bit more. so my own thougths are that is might cost a bit more in feed but they will make better use of it and the the ground will be better for them once they start lambing. Is there anything I am missing or problems I might encounter [/QUOTE]
