we were having the discussion about big lambs,this is the brut lamb i was on about..

OUCH!!

My friend had a massive lamb one year - the ewe hadn't looked particular big but I swear she gave birth to a 6m old He was comically huge next to the others for ages

It takes about 4 months for our Hebbies to reach that size

birth weight is a heritable enough trait for me not to want to breed from anything born that big

[waterbuffalofarmer]

Wow he's massive! I had a charrolais x lleyn x texel ewe and she gave massive lambs, this year I had to pull him, I have a few pics on me phone which I'll upload, he was truly massive.

Terrifying

We cull tups that leave lambs that size.

That lamb is a monster

Was the ewe fed alot pre lambing?

I think I am happy with my average lamb size being 3-5 kilos, the only ones I have had over 5 kilo was when I used a pure charollais on ewe lambs, didnt work out at all, ruined some sheep and stuck/dead lambs

Singles only get hay here, but then again twins and trips only get hay and protein tubs

Biggest lamb we ever had was Southdown on a full-mouthed Badger Face.  Vet came in the day after it was born and said he thought it was at least a fortnight old.  Fed for a single, sire that threw good but not spectacular lambs ....?  Same thing the following year and the lamb was normal size.

we had bought the ewe AI ed in lamb, bout 3 weeks before she was due...she came straight from the mountain  side an was put in the house an feed just silage an treacle for energy..normally our lambs are never near as big ..but every once in a while you ge ta monster...we didnt pull her...she was a 3rd crop ewe an had it lambed her self..the lamb was up an sooking within about 5 mins of being born

[Me]

If she did that on three weeks of molasses and silage I'd give her concrete and water this year
