Sponging ewes

[sjewart]

Can anyone tell me how long after removing sponges and jagging with pmsg do you put the tup in with my bfl ewes?

I'm thinking it's 48 hours but haven't had great success in the past. I'm worried I miss the ewes being on so is it OK to just put the tup straight in after the sponges are out?

Im thinking sponges in early a.m. on Saturday 5th Sept and out early a.m. on Saturday 19th Sept. Tups put in with ewes late Sunday afternoon (20th Sept).

I pull sponges Out of all ewes then chuck 2 tups in initially just to catch those couple of early ewes and then the main bulk of the rams in the next day .
