The sheep are not happy and they are letting it be known...
We always increase protien levels "pre-breeding" which increases ovulation thus increasing lambing rates (this means good 2nd cutting alfalfa hay and grain for the month before breeding and into the first trimester)...
We have just switched to 1st cutting grass hay (the sheep think it is crap)... There is MUCH protesting going on...
Some of the ewes are even threatening a hunger strike (that is until we get out of view and then they reluctantly eat the "crap" we have left for them).
The poor babies...
I believe that every girl deserves a little chocolate before being asked to breed...
ReplyDeleteagreed! the problem is when the chocolate stops coming. It's all fine and dandy until someone ends up pregnant!!!
