Lambing2014

Lambing2014

Preg tested the backups (dries from the earlier joining) and the ewe lambs today. Ended up with 51% of the ewe lambs in lamb from a 4-week single-sire joining. Not our best result, but also nowhere near the worst. 5.9% dries in the adults was higher than we normally end up with. Noted that a number of the dries were ewes that lambed as lambs last year. Seems these ewes need a better opportunity to recover and get back in lamb.

Note to self: probably shouldn’t try and AI the ewes that reared twins as ewe lambs.
