What's "turning"?

[egglady]

when you turn them round to effectively sit them on their bums so you can work with them safely.  presumably it puts the lambs in the wrongposition and not good for them

Once a ewe has lambed, how long after is it safe for her to be turned to do foot trimming?

[andywalt]

I trim them before they are turned out to the field so 2 days to a week after lambing

Ah, if only commonsense was common

Thanks Worzel.  We do most of that stuff already.  But I think it's a good idea to do the feet before putting with rest of the flock after lambing to save trying to catch them later.

I know this post is old, but while searching around for 'kneeling sheep' (looking for a photo), this is one of the top links Google comes up with, so I wanted to comment for anyone else coming across it!

Some sheep like to kneel while they eat. It doesnt necessarily mean anything is wrong with them. I have one, an Icelandic, who always kneels to eat. His feet are beautiful, hes healthy, he just likes to kneel.
