Just looking for some advice with feeding. We've started feeding our texel ewes some hard feed as they have 4 weeks left until lambing, the ram and his buddy wether are still in with the ewes as the field for post lambing is resting and we don't have another set of electric fencing. The ram himself is lovely, we have a hurdle pen in the field so when he sees us he goes and waits in the pen for his handful of coarse mix !
However we cannot get the wether in with him unless we physically catch and drag him over ! the ewes are on ewe nuts which I obviously know can't be fed to the ram but what about the wether ? How detrimental is this as we can't get him out at feeding time and he may go end up going in the freezer. I may have to end up using coarse mix on them all but I thought it would be better for the ewes to have ewe nuts.
