Mine are mules and I am a complete novice with only 4 last year and 7 this year, I have a very experienced friend on call, and another on phone!!! and I make full use of them both

but I do believe that no matter how many ewes you have to lamb you only intervene IF necessary, and thats what I'm sticking to! I assume there was hand/arm washing/disinfecting? we never saw that.
