    I haven't lambed this year as was away working. However considering lambing a few ewes early now. Possible sponging them for October 1st 2020 lambing.To bring in early cash while out of work. Would still consider lambing these ewes again in June 2021. Just the once. Meaning putting the ram with freshly weaned ewes in January. Is this possible ?

    It's possible you're talking about a 3 crops in 2 years system. It'd take good management of ewes to do it.
