I'll be culling the ewes that didn't produce and keeping the ones that do. As I work with the flock I expect the lambing percentage to get better.Bruce Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995706761794063165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842136564899097734.post-60886653802811518562010-04-05T21:08:40.102-07:002010-04-05T21:08:40.102-07:00I heard a lamb producer is supposed to aim for an ...I heard a lamb producer is supposed to aim for an average of 2 lambs per breeding female per year.

They are easy keepers, and they'll fight off coyotes, or at least give them a good chase. And for guarding you only need one, preferably a gelding - two will stay together and ignore the sheep, one will stay with the flock and protect them. I've seen one chase a dog out of our field, they're pretty impressive fighters.StefRobrtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786010946464627818noreply@blogger.com
