[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7341814, member: 348"] That's exactly the system I've been doing since we moved to outdoor lambing in 2008, albeit with beet instead of brassicas some years. I can honestly say that I have never seen a case of TLD in all of that time. A transition period before lambing would be nice, but it never happens. I never have enough grass early enough in the (old pp) lambing paddocks, so take the view it's better to keep quality food in front of them than to worry about transition. Diet transition has never been an issue, unless it was moving from a grazed forage ration to a housed hay & concentrate system, which we did previously. [/QUOTE]
