Sheepish, I know how you feel about feeling bad! We always do too! One othe bit of advice Johnathon about castrating. Sheepish is right you need to make sure both testicles are descended. Even so when you release the band they can slip up. It's good to have a knife near by incase you have to cut the band and try again. It is painful for a bit but the lambs will soon be bounding around oblivious to it all!(posted 9008 days ago)Sheepish, boy I can relate to the sleepless nights at lambing time. We have mostly rambouillet but one old dependable suffolk ewe who always gives us triplets. This year my husband and I got up every two hours the night we knew she was going to lamb. Dear old soul delivered all 3 no problems at the respectable hour of 6:30AM! We could have had a good nights sleep.
