Transporting ewes and ram

[will6910]

Iv found myself a additional small block for winter grazing. It’s about 10 miles away. I currently have teaser ram with my ewes and once he’s done there he will join ewe lambs. Only have 1 teaser ram so habe to just be two batches. I’m wondering what would be best to take to graze. If I take some lambs they won’t be able to be with teaser and stop feeding them. If I take ewes Theyl he going from lush grass as home to poorer stuff just at point off tupping. I’m thinking of putting rams with ewes and after 1 cycle or abit more to trailer them over to Grazing. Plan on 20 ewes and 1 rams so be one trailer load with room to spare. Wouod be behind tractor on small back roads. Would this affect the ewes in anyway in terms off holding Inlamb or something ?
thank you

Lambs and teaser gets my vote. 10 miles isn’t bad to keep an eye on them yourselves, but if it’s poorer than your grass at home I’d prefer to tup the ewes on the better grass.

Only issue with lambs is have 2 batches off lambs to tup separately but just 1 teaser. Was goijf take batch lambs over on day ram goes in but thought be a big change to go on trailer and change grass and no feed all on day they meet the ram

I'd prefer them to get a bit of disruption on the day the ram goes in than in the early days and weeks of pregnancy.

My concern would be just the change off grass, to go from good grass to poorer grass

How poor?
Is there plenty of it?

It’s more tidying up couple off fields that’s got cattle on them currently. They good filler grass as such but mightnt be top quality for tupping on. After trying give them best possible grass I’m wary to reduce it down just at point off tupping. After last year disasters want to do all I possible can to make things go smooth as can

If you want too graze the grass off buy are worried about it’s quality affecting the flush just pop a feed block out… for a hand full 1 block will last all of Tupping
