[QUOTE="HillFarmer321, post: 7693182, member: 56352"] We record our Welsh Mountain ewes who all lamb outside unassisted. Only way its practical is to DNA test ewes and lambs and do fetal ageing at scanning. This way you don't have to interact with the ewes at all during lambing and only need to start recording when they'r in for their 8 week weights which tends to be easier as its just a case of gathering and bringning into pens. Many people have suggested spray marking lambs when born as to be abkle to tell what week it was born but if your welsh ewes are anything like ours you'll create a hell of a mess. [/QUOTE]
