Good advice there from fleecewife (as usual) I did the same as you and bought 23 ewes 4 wethers and 2 rams last year, very green( but experianced with dairy herds) I must be mad but really enjoying it, its important not to over feed, Ive been very careful and getting used to condition scoring, its very easy to over feed and thinking thats doing them good when it will all end up in tears and prolapses. also make time to watch them each day, I do my best to have an hour with them every day, its amasing what you notice. and watching the lambs growing fast and eating the nuts already in the field and only 2-3 weeks old
so read plenty, also if you have the bbc i player on your laptop look up radio 4 farming today and listen to the last 6 that you can replay, its on at 6am every morning.
Im learning as quick as I can, i can see that like most things there is a method and routine jobs that you need to do at certain times of the year. you will pick it up quick if your as obsessed as I am.
enjoy !!
