[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 7560381, member: 493"] Shearing her will increase her appetite and if you have plenty of grass her milk production will get a proportional boost. But if you don't have enough pasture height for her to get good mouth fulls, she won't be able to consume enough to grow both of her young lambs at 300 g/day. That means 7cms of pasture height on offer. Having farmed 10s of thousands of Romneys, I suggest you prelamb shear which will also speed up the lambing process and make her more active if she has a full length fleece. [/QUOTE]
