[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7286219, member: 81760"] Question for you more experienced guys then, what are we doing wrong? (We only bought sheep last year so still very new to this!!) 130% scanning rate, 8 empty out of 100. Far too many singles for my liking, our llyns have been nothing but a disappointment since we bought them, they seem to have far more singles than doubles compared to everything else. The ewes are Suffolk and texel x's, llyns, 4 beltex, 11 scotch mules (these have performed by far the best), and 1 or 2 others. We were aiming to start lambing in february 1st and finish end of february ready for calving in March. We put the tups out 14 days early to get them cycling (half a dozen already were and were served early). They were on the best grass on the farm (full of sugar) and they were in amazing condition imo Why is it so low!? What can I do to improve it? This is likely to be our last year lambing in february and will probably be lambing from 1st of April until the 30th after next year, will this improve it? [/QUOTE]
