cragman 2,631 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I recall getting a bollocking from a farmer when hounds ran through his sheep in November one year. I visited him later to apologise and asked about the sheep. I’m sure he said they were Norfolk’s and drop lambs much earlier than others ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 44,204 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Most lambs only get bred to coincide with peak market times etc I am expecting to see a couple of my own soon enough because I just let the ram run with the ewes all year round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 3,961 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 One of the farms I have permission on I also give the farmer a hand lambing , the 1st ewes will be lambing in about 4/5 weeks then the next lot will be February , it's too do with the ££ market I'd say .
