Show At Lambing Time. When the lambs are due, and the system of hand coupling enables the shepherd to determine this, the ewes should be taken to the lambing pens. In the case of twins or triplets the first born Is generally strongest and wanders away among the other sheep if not confined. On its return the ewe has forgotten its smell, and will not own it. Besides, it !s more convenient to care for them ,when the other ewes cannot interfere. If the shepherd has a rest room with a cot adjoining the lambing pen, his labor will be greatly lessened. |
