Terminal ram out with the early ewes - how are they looking?

I put the Early Ram out.
We have three lambing dates, the earlies, 1st, the mixed aged & 2ths, 2nd and the hoggets last. Its a good feeling to get the early ram out although I would have liked to have a little more feed for them I still think they will perform well.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

Yeah same in Ireland all tagged with there own identification number all dead animals must go to fallen animal disposal €25 for a ewe collected in the yard.

[@HillCountryFarmer]

Right, that’s an expense. Especially if you have the land to bury them yourself.

[@JOjoZ00o]

Or do they give you 25 euro for the ‘meat’ - ewe in the yard - so to speak !!!!! Jo Sheldon

Shame about the dead sheep, that's a bit of lost money. The rest of the sheep are looking good though. What a cheeky Ram! Just jumping back and forth while you try to catch him. I bet he puts out good lambs though!

[@HillCountryFarmer]

It is a loss but the saying goes “where there is live stock there is dead stock”, it’s all part of life.
Thanks!
Cheeky for sure! I should have explained the long tailed rams are the teasers (vasectomised) so those boys won’t be producing any offspring.

What’s a teaser

[@HillCountryFarmer]

It’s a ram that has been Vasectomised, it acts like a Ram before the Ram goes out to stimulate oestrus. It should be put out for a certain time so that the ewes are cycling at the same time to get more ewes in lamb in the first Cycle.
In my case I have put the teaser out for 17 days because a ewes cycle is 17 days.
More ewes in the first cycle means a tighter lambing and also more even lambs at weaning.
