Ok folks... I need logistical words of wisdom
I have 2 rams- 1 poll Dorset & the other is a lleyn. Both have been here for 2 years- the Dorset breeds fat lambs and is no problem at all, the lleyn has gone on ewes for replacement ewe lambs and has an ever increasing attitude problem. The plan was to sell him this year and replace with another lleyn tup- but sell once the replacement is here so the Dorset has company. Actually he will be culled as I won’t pass on his problems to someone else.
But I think the lleyn needs to go sooner rather than later as his attitude is not improving
my problem is what to do with the Dorset for company. The only other sheep here are in lamb ewes and ewe lambs.
I’ve got a fair few triplets expected at lambing- what age/size would a wether lamb be able to go in with a ram ? That is my only other option for company, or I keep the Dorset ram inside for a few months until I find a new ram. Thoughts ?
