How does everyone wean their lambs?
I was hoping my ewes would have weaned them by now, lambs were born April 1st and 9th.
Want to get things sorted now as would like to bring tup in a month earlier this year.
Any suggestions, i have 4acres fenced into paddocks with electric fencing, i do have a spare stable if needed.
Am i likely to have problems with them jumping electric to get back to each other?
Is there any guide as to weight and age, i not sure my lambs are doing as well as they should, they are rotated round good grass and hay if they want it. Admittedly my ewes are a little short conformation wise so not expecting massive lambs, but doubt the boys will be ready to go before christmas.
Mine are southdowns, doesn't help looking at commercial breeds that seem massive
On the up side, if you can remember my poorly ewe, she is doing fantastic, and very slowly moving up condition scores! Amazing, throwing literally everything, medicine and potion and of course time and grass has done for her!
Many thanks
