Teaser out today. He gets 14 days of fake passion before the real “men” get turned out

How many days after the real ram goes in, will he start serving them.

As soon as the first one is in heat.

14 days if you want them over a very condensed period. If you want them relatively evenly over 17 days, either put them in earlier, or don’t mate them on that first (teaser induced) cycle. The second cycle is supposed to give higher prolificacy too IIRC.

I did three weeks last year - first year and culled anything not pregnant after three weeks with the ram. This year I'm doing 14 days and three weeks with the rams in the hope that I will have more in the first two weeks. I change the raddle every week for my own info. I also raddle the teaser - yellow for info. I'm hoping to only need two weeks off work for lambing :hilarious:
