Tammy, Time is less important than nutrition and body condition. I would use body condition scoring. Oregon State University extension has a great publication...

I'd like to get an opinion from those of you who actually tattoo lambs whether it be for registration purposes or for your own record-keeping. I have a 5...
This evening one of my ewes came in and it looks like she has masitis. Her udder is harder on one side and she is limbing on that side. Being it is Sunday...
Hopefully you have an intibiotic available. Start her on that. Warm packs and try to keep expressing milk out that side. It would seem it would make more...

One trick I have found to milk out a ewe by myself is to tie a twine tightly just in front of the udder over the back. It works on cows too. :)) It deadens a...
