I've got a ewe who seems intent on killing another ewe's lamb and in her frenzy to get at it is quite likely to take out her own in the process. Only a day difference between ages - they are now 10 days old - should the lambs be able to withstand a concerted butting attack or should I continue to keep them separate? I tried to let them sort it out amongst themselves - but just couldn't watch - someone was going to get hurt! How old do you think the lambs would have to be before I try it again. I've now got another lamb a week younger too.
How old do the lambs have to be when you can you stop worrying about foxes so much? Big sheep farmer over the road from me has lost loads apparently
