Show TO AVOID LOSS IN LAMBS The liberty to take exercise, is a part in sheep raising that cannot be too highly appreciated. Ewes with lamb should be firm and full of muscle, not fat and soft, and this has been proved in every flock throughout the country year after year by the lambs that come early in nearly every case being strong and those that come very late being the same, while the great loss in lambs is nearly always just before the ewes go to pasture or from ewes that have during their whole period of pregnation been confined to the pens. To avoid losses from these causes give the ewes as much room as possible in the pens. Do not have the pens too close, but have them dry above and below. Robert Miller. |
