What breed are they? Happy with that? A few too many for my liking, if I’m honest - around 160% would be grand for me.

Never want to have more 3s than 1s.

These earlier ones don't normally have as any lambs in them another 250 to scan in 6/7week's time suffolk x ewes and mules

Don't know your location...


But here lambs were leaving the farm early and steady all summer. Ewes haven't worked too hard and have been on the raise condition wise since July. I expect big scannings in this part of the country. I'm fearing mine a little when it comes round in another month

Nature usually has a habit of taking care of that. I'd not be concerned about those numbers in a small group, lambing indoors tbh. Better to have too many lambs than too few....

Yup.


I Multi-vit dosed all the ewes when they got a fluke drench pre tupping... I'm now too scared I've made a terrible mistake so I'm scanning them so I know the damage I've done

 

[bobajob]

Oh good stuff, once you start doing it you won’t want to stop!!
Better to start with plenty of lambs. The sheep job is on the up don’t ya know ??

 

[Nithsdale]
