[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7716311, member: 348"] It’s a pee poor ram that’s struggling at 1:40 ime, and most well reared rams will cope with double that without spreading your lambing out. Unless your rams have some serious issues, you’re barking up the wrong tree if you’re blaming them for having 20% barren. It’s far more likely to be an issue with the ewes tbh. One of my maternal rams stopped 110 of his 123 ewes in the first 17 days last year. Expecting any ram to only be able to stop 20 in that time is just crazy. Aside from ewe lambs, I won’t have more than 5% lambing to second cycle here, even at considerably higher ewe:ram ratios than you’re suggesting. The ram sellers must love you guys.🤐 [/QUOTE]
