BrownSheeps 2013 Lambing thread...6 new babies

[Bridgemoof]

Hi Brownsheep, you said you are not doing pasture lambing this year, SO do you have the pregnant ewes in a barn or in lambing jugs? Just curious what your set up is and how soon you bring them in.

Good luck with your girls!

Right now theyre in the pen up by our house. Although the pen is actuall large enough to count as a pasture. Probably 200 x 100 feet. The other pastures are a several acres in size and away from our house. As they get closer they'll be placed in the smaller dry lot that the jugs open into. They'll say in the jugs for a couple of days then be allowed into the dry lot. Depending on how many go at a time they'll be rotated into the larger pen again. Our jugs are actuall covered this year it's a straw building with an open end so they'll probably be free to come and go from day one unless they reject one but we've never had it happen.
