Well long story short I have a Beltex X Jacob ewe who this year had to have a c-section she was only a ewe lamb an shouldn't of been tupped. She got with the ram for about 12 hours which was a large texel ram.

C-section was due to huge lamb small ewe so on.

My question is has anyone re-bred a ewe who has a c-section and what were the results?

[Marches Farmer]

I've never heard of a C-section ewe being bred from again, in this area.

[landroverroy]

Yes I have. She was a Ryeland - had a massive ram lamb as a yearling. No problem at all with subsequent pregnancies and she went on to win best of breed as a 3 year old  at York Rare Breed Show.

Yes totally fine! As long as it was a good job she will be fine!

We had a gimmer that had a C section; we put her back to the tup the folowing autumn, but she didn't get in lamb.

Personally, I'd give her another go..

[Azzdodd]

It was due to my poor management that she had problems I believe. Also the scanner scanned get empty if she had scanned in lamb I would off made sure she didn't get any feed but as she scanned empty she got her fair share....if I was to try does anyone thing a small tup will be a better option?

[Jullienne]

Yes I bred from a ewe after a C section, biggest mistake I ever made I thought I would give her another chance, until it happened again! After that I culled her and her offspring, since then any which have had to be C sectioned have gone. The problem with having an animal C sectioned is that it weakens the womb wall, I think with sheep (as with any animal) it is 3 C sections, personally if one hs one once cull out the ewe and begin again.

I haven't bred a ewe after a C section.  My vet advises me not to breed from the ewe again, so I don't risk it.

[Sbom]

Not exactly the same but I successfully bred again from a goat that had a section, she like yours got bred accidentally and vet said she'd more growing to do so no reason not to try again....although it was the most nerve racking experience when I knew she was in labour and I ended up phoning the vets to check there was one ready in case I had to rush her down 

So if it was more due to small ewe and incorrect feed management then I'd say try again

 I would say in this situation she would be ok , only had 4 c sections in total and culled all because they all  could  not lamb even with assistance when fully grown

[Azzdodd]

Was definalty poor management on my behalf an she's grown a lot since she had the c-section so I'm hoping she will be ok. Gonna put her to a smaller breed of ram to be sure

[roddycm]

I think she will be fine! Put her to a nice primitive tup if you have the choice 

[Azzdodd]

I bought my little girl some pure bred balwens an decided to keep them pure so more than likely going to use a balwen :-)

[Old Shep]

We had a Texel shearing with a big single lamb to a Texel tup had a c section.  Put her to a Lleyn tup next year, lambed herself fine, had twins last year to a texel tup and everything was fine, but she was barren this year for some reason. So I'd give her another chance too.
