I'm not that nice to my poddies, last feed is 10pm next feed is 6am. Unless I have a weak one, then I bring em inside and get up to check every two to four hours and feed if necessary.
Although I do check the lambing/kidding ewes/does during the night, so yeah I guess when I bring these girls home it will be back to 10pm, 2am and 6am checks. Its so worth it though
The damara lambs come out pretty small do they? From what I read they tend to only have singles, not many twins, which is a shame. maybe I can work on that
Our local shows use these portable panels, they belong to the biggest show and the little ones hire them. Little lambs and kids fit through the bars, and way back when, most people just let em, and they'd be running around playing with each other, it was cute. That was back when you would take a ewe out in the ring and bring the lambs out into the ring, and everyone would just let their lambs run around and play, the public loved it. Cos of Johnes now, you cant do that, they have to be held in the ring and people now put mesh inside the pens so they dont escape
