I'm still feeding my girls a month after lambing as the grass growth here has been rubbish.  Would usually be cutting it down / stopping about now but I fear it will need to continue for a week or so yet judgin by the weather forecast .

We are still feeding and will continue to do so until the feed runs out which. Wil probably be in a couple of weeks time at this rate.


Best way to ensure there is no old feed lying around to attract rats or go mouldy.

Where's the chart? It sounds useful!

My 8 lactating ewes, mostly with twins, are getting about 1kg each a day plus hay and a feed block. The grazing isn't bad but not what I'd call lush. Lambs are 2-6 weeks old and the ewes are telling me they are completely starving.  I'm thinking of upping their ration. Condition-wise, I'd say they were between 2 and 3.  None are fat and mostly, they're rather leaner than I'd think ideal with twins on.

The lambs, however, don't seem hungry 

              Wish I had half as much grass , condition of ewes sound ok  and they all look well

Thanks. Reassurring to have that imput. 

I was lucky to get about another 3 acres this spring of nicely rested grazing next to my usual fields, otherwise I'd have been pretty stuffed!
