I’m going to put teasers in for 14 days before swapping them for the real thing.

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

Should I put the teaser with the ewe lambs for longer than 14 days? 3-4 weeks? Im sure I have seen it said somewhere.

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
