bullet Scan March lambing flock:

Scan march lambing flockThe flock of sheep that produce their lambs in March will now be scanned for signs of lambs developing. An ultra sound scanner allows us to see the lambs inside the ewe. Those that are not pregnant can then be separated from the rest of the flock. Ewes are then grouped into mothers with singles, mothers with twins and those with triplets. Each group has a different ration.
