moving sheep during mating

    Is there any harm moving ewes while the rams are out? I've gotten some freshly reseeded grassland for next to nothing half an hour a way and I was wondering what are people's thoughts with moving them? I'll soon be running low on grass. The rams are out a month this coming sunday?

    Dunno, we would take them very handy when they're going in lamb, even bringing them into the yard to raddle rain, try to keep the stress low

    If it is a case of not moving and no grass or move and grass I would think either option will lead to some embryo loss, but at least if you take them handy you might be able to keep the stress down. If it was me I chance moving them.

    Very good thread, i think we all wonder the same. sheep broke on me the other day and to get them in they had a good run i wonder would yhis affect them.


    Is it the physical or mental stress that does the damage
