Hi all,
We had our Jacob ewes scanned yesterday. First time we have had it done as we were breeding from our home bred shearlings and old ewes this time round.
Results were out of 7 ewes
5 x twins 1x triplet and a single. 200% we are delighted and to top it all our GOS gilt gave birth to 10 health piglets so all in all a good day.
Now just waiting to finish off the lambing shed and for the mud to dry up!

Excellent result. :thumbsup: :sheep: :sheep:
We've had a record crop scanned too, but as Rosemary keeps telling me it the number you wean that counts. ::) :)

Excellent result - same position here with the lambing shed - not counting it will be done in time so to plan b.

Us too, we have concrete founds in and metal bits lying everywhere, but no sign of an actual structure, just the mud!
Well done on your scan. We are scanning tomorrow morning, but we will NOT be hoping for 200%, 150% average will be more than enough for us if we achieve it.
