SHEEP SCANNING

We scanned our sheep today and all went very well with only two showing up empty but we expected that as they both lambed in january this year and lambed again in august so we have done well out of them this year. All sheep were scanned with doubles and we will be due some beginning january and the rest at the end of january. The scanning is very beneficial as it tells you how many lambs to expect and how much feed to give the ewes according to whether or not they are having singles, doubles or triples.  Sponging the sheep works well as you can lamb the sheep in a short period of time and it is usually very accurate. We are hopeful that we will have another good year of lambing and few losses
