We recently weaned all the lambs off their moms. The lambs stayed up around the barns where we fed them a little grain and during the day let them out onto pastures of Daikon radish, ryegrass and oats. There was an overnight storm and a coyote got in, killed and ate one of the lambs. I put up an electric net fence to close down the area that Zeus has to guard and make it more difficult for coyote entry. No problems since then (knock on wood with fingers crossed).
The moms went out to the Schommer pond area to eat hay and dry down their udders. Heidi and Hero are with them as guardians.
Here is the 2020 lamb crop eating their morning ration of grain. About 220 lambs. Zeus is in the foreground.
A couple of photos of the lambs on forage.
Some photos of Hero and Heidi with the moms eating hay in Schommer pond area.
