Ewe with twins
« on: February 10, 2014, 05:37:23 pm »
I usually raise a few lambs for meat each year and this year I have been offered a ewe with twins at foot.  Would the ewe be happy just with her lambs or would I need to get another ewe to keep her company?

What would you plans be once the lambs go in the freezer?  If you'd keep her and a ewe lamb on as breeders and/or pets, that would probably be okay.  But yes, like any mum, ewes do like a bit of adult company, if poss!
