[Jacob-list] Another question....

[Kathryn Shirley]

My ewes never stop eating -- well right during the delivery and perhaps up to an hour or two afterwards as they spend their time bonding.  12 hours after delivery, I am feeding the just lambed girls.

A ewe who eats and then spits up grain is not normal.  Perhaps she is eating so fast so she can get back to her lambs and chokes?

  How long after lambs are born before they tend to start eating grains, hay, grass, etc?

  I was taking note that one ewe after about a week is going to the trough with teh other sheep... eating.... and then spitting up the grains when she goes back to the lambs... is this a normal practice?

  Thanks again,
  Chris
