Title: Are they pregnant?
Post by: Mel Rice on September 22, 2012, 10:59:50 am

Ive had the boy lamb running with Mum and Auntie. In the hope that he will do the homours before heading for the freezer at Christmas. All lambs produced are to be killed and NONE kept to breed on.What are the chances of my two girls not being pregnant? Should I borrow my friends ram again just to be sure?

From a genetic point of view may lead to problems . If they would normally be served at this time of year then they may have been cycling , have you not seen any activity?? . I would borrow the ram and raddle him just to be sure :fc:
