Quick turn around on ewe..

[Mc115reed]

I have 2 ryeland ewes which I struggled to find a tup for this year so they are both due to lamb April 22nd up to June 22nd but I have sorted my tup problem out now and I have 2 other ewes which usually lamb early February... will my 2 late ewes be able to manage a quick turn around and get in lamb for February again or will they not cycle so soon after lambing? Any tips on getting the girls to take for an early lambing ?

Should be fine. wean the lambs as soon as you can.

Anything in particular you'd recommend? Would normally pull lambs off at 10 weeks...

Earlier the better, if you want to bring them forward. It might even be worth sponging the late ones too, for the sake of £3/ewe?

Have heard mixed reports on sponging a lot of people told me there amazing and a lot told me they've had hardly any takers on them not sure if it's a risk I fancy with only 4 sheep?
