All ewe lambs are tupped here, and all lambed outside. They make better shearlings for it, and its an extra crop you'd otherwise miss. Cant stand keeping a ewe for a year with her not paying for her way. As long as they are managed ok, they do fine and grow on fine. Can be a little flighty at times though and you have to watch for over feeding and keep them tight if they have a single in them. And if you pull one, hold her down, put the lamb to her, if she licks it, get up slowly and walk away, if she doesn't, she is probably worth penning up as she may well do a runner! A lot will depend on the ewe, maternal breeds are made for it!
Will be lambing (in theory) around 90 ewe lambs next march / april.
