  • Lambing season is in full swing here on the farm. All the babies are doing great, but we have faced several different challenges this year. I'll cover some of the common issues that sheep farmers and breeders encounter around birthing time and solutions for how we deal with them.

    Very interesting video! Even though I've always wanted goats more then sheep. Lambs are so very cute!!

    I thought I remembered you saying you use a “3 strikes you’re out” rule for culling.
    Do these ewes get a strike for rejecting lambs?
    Love your flock!

    • @YouCanFarm

      It depends on the circumstances, but usually it does count as a strike against them.

      @@YouCanFarmI don’t blame you! Maternal instinct is definitely something I wanna select for.

      Hi! That ewe (sheep, not goat) experienced a vaginal prolapse during pregnancy, and the harness helps prevent it from happening again.

    How long do you have to bottle feed a lamb?

    • @YouCanFarm
      @YouCanFarm  5 месяцев назад +1

      For a minimum of 6 weeks, but I usually feed longer, up to 12 weeks.
