  • High risk of disease lambing down in feedlot
  • Need more than 30m2/ewe (take consideration birth of lambs that will increase number in pen)
  • Run <100 twin bearing ewes in 50-100ac. Mob size max 350 lambs.
  • Broadcast pulse grain in paddock and provide ad lib hay and self-feeders for twin bearing ewes to decrease disturbance
  • Spread out feeders for twin bearing ewes
  • B12 & ADE shots may be beneficial for ewes this year
  • Providing hay increases milk fats
  • Feed bypass protein (sorghum, canola , cotton seed, soybean meal) 1 month from point of lambing until birth
