I'd like to put my three young tups back with the rest of the flock for spring and summer, as it would make paddock management simpler, but I don't want to risk an out of season lambing, or risk them starting to seriously fight each other. My neighbours say it's fine to put them with the flock, but I'm jumpy so looking for additional opinions.
Further info: they're all Shetlands. The tups are last year's tup lambs. They currently get along all right in their separate paddock -- some shoving, but no serious fighting. The flock is ewes due to lamb next month plus last year's unbred ewe lambs.
I expect there's no absolute guarantee there won't be an out of season tupping (?) if I put them in, but I'd like to know if it's just "probably not" or "really very unlikely". Any comments appreciated, especially from Shetland owners.
