[QUOTE="Jerry, post: 7498409, member: 178"] I lamb outside. Just about finished fir the year now with just 3 ewes left. Ewes are all Lleyn, 70% home bred now. I can honestly say this year has been the best lambing I’ve had, partly thanks to the weather for sure, but ewes have done the job very well. I’ve barely touched a single and pulled very few doubles. Best night was over 20 ewes lambed over night on their own. All lambs up sucked and happy. I’ve worked hard to get the right rams, maternals are performance recorded from a very good flock. Terminals are charollaise selected to be easy lambing. Lambing is pretty hands off. Singles are set stocked, lamb and stay where they are. Doubles are lambed and moved to new grass once dry. They have plenty of room in lambing field do they can go off in their own to lamb. Definitely breed up your own ewes, they will know you and won’t be flighty and suit your system. [/QUOTE]
