[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4180610, member: 348"] I didn't say I make good use of them...:unsure: I don't use teasers to make a very tight lambing, but I do put them out for at least a month before tupping so that they are all cycling naturally by the time the rams go in, so I end up with most of them done in one cycle. IIRC the timings for getting a very tight lambing are to start by keeping the ewes out of sight & smell of any rams/teasers for at least 3 weeks, then put teasers in for 10-14 days, then put entire rams in. If all goes to plan, the vast majority of the ewes should then come on in the first week to ten days....... in theory. Of course, it'll all be buggered up if a neighbours puts his tups into the field on the opposite side of the hedge, or yours/his escape, etc. [/QUOTE]
