[QUOTE="JD-Kid, post: 7563951, member: 479"] we find it hard to get the good covers and dont know the date of birth to work it out fully so just go total weight at weaning by the number of days I know it's not totally right but if the same each year its a rough benchmark most years in the high 200 grams day over all think for us later in season the wheels fall off grass feed value falls off and ewes taking best of the feed noticed last year feeding out nuts in dec the ewes picked up where in past ewes mostly semi dried off with splitting groups based on types the biggest thing we noticed was lambing % between the groups up to 20 % diffrence in tailing in the yards. out of scanned twin ewes so some breeds higher losses from scanning to tailing growth rates on avg of lambs about the same per lamb per ewe would be diffrent as diffrence in % weaned growths start to show some diffrence in avg of breeds but a huge range in growths with in breeds /crosses that effect dose tend to show up all way along. run some 2tooth across scales other day one at 49 kg and one at 75 kg all on same feed etc but the 75 kg one better all the way along [/QUOTE]
