[QUOTE="Grem, post: 5918518, member: 86408"] I didn't used to scan my own, but I only had 20 and they had to be kept inside at night to keep them safe from the locals, so they were fed a tiny ration (to get them in) every night and ad-lib hay. During pregnancy I slowly upped their feed and had a very short lambing period. For a couple of years I did synchronised oestrus too, which was good but costly with so few. I then went into Hampshire Downs, who are really responsive to putting the ram in and I lambed at the beginning of Dec to get big lambs for the show ring. Then children came along and it all came to an end. The sad thing is you can eat your sheep when they are a pain in the backside, but kids are forever. I wouldn't be without them though. [/QUOTE]
