We also draft the ewes off from the lambs because it is easier for the lifters. If you leave them in you keep getting pushed around by them. I guess it all comes down to numbers. If we were only doing a few we probably wouldnt bother but when its hundreds and hundreds it makes it a little easier.Lindseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232869666777820472.post-38988697379019601282011-11-15T12:00:52.486-03:002011-11-15T12:00:52.486-03:00Thats funny.

There will be at least 13 of us to feed so I am trying to get prepared. On the first day we will gather two different camps and mark in the region of 1,200 lambs. The second day we will gather one camp and mark in the region of 550 - 600 lambs. Very busy weekend as we only have the helpers from Stanley for the weekend. We will collect them from the mainland on Friday night and drop them back Sunday afternoon.Lindseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232869666777820472.post-992982807910879992011-11-15T11:03:33.033-03:002011-11-15T11:03:33.033-03:00I had to look up lamb marking.
