Hi,
First time lambing this year - a bit scared but mostly excited. Apologies if I ask silly questions - I've been on a couple of courses but still feel a bit under prepared so am spending lots of time reading this forum!
On the course I went on the ewes had been dagged out pre-lambing. My girls are due from next weekend and are looking quite heavy bellied now, I was intending to dag them out in the next few days but I'm worried about man handling them too much and stressing them. Their bottoms are a bit grubby but nothing awful, although their fleece under their bellies looks like it could do with trimming back a little to expose the teats. What do you think?
Thanks - any advice welcome
