[QUOTE="Ysgythan, post: 8957420, member: 8724"] Used to sponge the ewes and tup them on the yard. One jump, ewe out, tup out with the whole mob with the last ewe to be tupped. Old tups that had experience of running with big mobs were brilliant. You could just turn them in with the ewes and they’d sort the job themselves in no time. Ram lambs or yearlings that had their only previous experience of tupping in that system were a real pain. You have to get the strongest cycling ewe for them and turn them in one at a time. They’d tup her then lie down for quarter of an hour. Even then though they would do 10-15 in a stint. There were returns, about 1:4, so no more than AI. [/QUOTE]
