2 cycles and a couple of days here normally. Left a ram longer with one group this year as unsure if he’d tupped them all after he got a scab on his todger. Only 10 repeats from his 123 ewes as it happens, so obviously has a high pain threshold!

That mob started lambing on April 1st, with the last one yesterday. :banghead: The one before was 10 days previously.
