Our six ewes are due to lamb late March; we also have three ewe lambs running with them. Leo, our tup, is in another field with our wether Dickie.

Can I put Leo in with the girls? I don't want the ewe lambs mated so are they past being in season?

Leo looks so miserable.

[woollyval]

I wouldn't!!

Put the ram in on the 7th of Jan one year everyone including the ewe lambs got pregnant

Vet said "no" too. It woudl disrupt the ewes and he MIGHT catch a ewe lamb.

So he'll just have to stay miserable. At least he gets 6 happy weeks a year - not everyone can say that

Both my tups are in separate fields (separate from each other and the girls) each with some wether lambs, and they are miserable... but better safe than sorry. My shetland ewe lambs really are not that big!

I keep my rams in all year but ewe lambs come out and I have lambs the same time each year

here! here! we are all smallholders and share ideas. The same thing may not work for everyone but if it works for you don't change it and don't force opinions on others. But if humans and animals all reacted in the same way and done exactly the same thing wouldn't life be boring.

If you can't justify your statement why make it? This forum is full of people that share support and advise and really doesn't need wanna be know it all that really don't say anything and make themselves look like a fool.

ok I'm off my soap box now, feels good to rant after the week I've had.

There are enough therapists and ex-therapists on here to help
