[QUOTE="NZDan, post: 7548024, member: 1037"] It depends on wool length and shearing time, an inch of wool provides 90% of the protection of a full fleece. Shear just before scanning at around 70days after mating, that would leave another 80 days before turn out. shearing at 70 days leads to twin lambs 0.5kg heavier at birth (1kg heavier at weaning), more space at feed troughs so more ewes per pen, what else gives a lift in performance and a drop in costs?
