- Lambing in January?
- Time to pull the rams out?
- Time to give the ewes their mid-gestation booster shot?
- Lambing in Spring?
- How are the rams looking?
- Have they been sheared and are the feet trimmed?
- Are they in good condition or should you up their feed quantity or quality a little before you put them to work?
- Hay tends to lose its vitamins after a few months. Adding a vitamin mix to your ewe ration this time of year can have good results.
- Feeds you might not think of feeding your sheep but that they’ll probably love
- Windfall apples – many days in the fall our ewes get 10-12 apples each
- Waste pumpkins and squash. Throw the ones you can’t use in the sheep pen so they break up. Pretty soon the sheep will be breaking them up.
