I put ewe lambs to the ram this time last year. 28 February born ewe lambs and 20 born April ones. When scanned, all feb ones were on lamb and about half of the April ones. However the April born ones were only about 40kg's and significantly smaller then the feb ones that were 50kg's. Your odds will increase if you've a mature ram with them, and run them as a separate flock to mature ewes.
