Title: Lick buckets for ewes
Post by: in the hills on April 10, 2013, 08:55:33 pm
Our Soay ewes are due to lamb from this weekend onwards.


We have no grass at all yet and are feeding ad-lib hay and a small amount of coarse mix (last years lambs are still in with them and hence the coarse mix and not ewe nuts). They have just finished their red lick bucket. Should we get another red bucket or is their a better/ more suitable lick for this stage ?


Thanks ITH  :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:
