Tupping sheep

[scatterbrainedlass]

My rams been in 8 weeks the day and teaser was in 3 weeks before that better a late lamb than no lamb

That was my thinking last year. Having had lambs born late May (and one in June!), all poor doers due to being weaned early, I think I'd rather have an empty ewe than a scrawny, scouring little thing that's not much use to anyone.

I think with later born lambs , you have to treat them like earlies , i unintentionally lambed some ewe lambs in june , i fed hoggs untill lambs on creep , and kept the creep feeder full , they didnt eat a lot but enough , and i weaned them at 100 days , they are killing weight now and look very well , and the hoggs recovered well , unfed i think they would have been all carp inc mothers .
