This is the first year I've had the lambing shed.
First ewe and lamb went out about 5 weeks ago. They have a small field (approx 2 acres) all to themselves. Now the next lamb has arrived - how long should I leave it before the ewe and her lamb join them?
And:
When they do join them, should I close the two of them in their division of the shelter each night (if so, for how many nights). or leave them to roam in/out at will? Minimum night temperature is about 7 deg at the moment, some light rain from time to time.
Shelter is nice and airy, open fronted, with sheep hurdles as doors when necessary.
Wether and last years lambs are in adjacent field.
