    Thats the plan yeah. They are around 43kg so probably should start feeding them?

    the worry with feeding meal to EL is that they can put on too much fat too quick andend up with fat in thier elder meaning perminant reduction in milk producing ability.

    What type of ewe are they to get an idea they should be 60% of mature weight going to ram so If they are a long way off no point trying to push them on now!

    another problem with feeding meal is a likely increase in multiple births
