We marked the full blood lambs yesterday, that had lambed within the new fox fence. With the stud lambs, we go around twice a day, and put a numbered neckband on any new lambs, ( before they are too mobile) we then know their birthdate and parentage. Well we were delighted to find that NONE had been lost to foxes. This is a first for us, twin lambs are particularly vulnerable as we found in our earlier maiden ewe lambing. The new paddock has been a great success, but meant we have had to supplementary feed, and the faeces buildup can cause other problems.
