3 Keys to Higher Lambing Percentages | Genetics, Nutrition & Attention

Описание: Want higher lambing percentages without burning out your ewes — or yourself? In this video, I break down the three biggest factors that directly impact lambing success on our farm after 20+ years of shepherding experience.

If you're raising dairy sheep, meat sheep, or homestead flocks, improving lamb survival and productivity starts long before lambing season.

In this video we cover:

🐑 1. Genetics — Selecting breeding stock for fertility, mothering ability, and long-term flock improvement
🌾 2. Nutrition — Feeding strategies before breeding and during gestation that influence litter size and lamb viability
👀 3. Attention (Management) — The small daily observations that prevent big losses at lambing time

We’ll talk about practical systems that help increase lambing percentages sustainably — not just chasing numbers, but building a healthy, productive flock year after year.

Whether you're new to sheep or refining an established breeding program, these principles can help you improve outcomes starting this season.
