To insure twining, the ewe

At lambing, the ewe must be

how and be willing to assist the
ewe at lambing,” Morgan sate.
Theie is no excuse for not giv
ing that assistance The longer
the ewe is m laboi, the weeker
the lamb is when bom,’ he saic.
‘Then see that the new-born
lamb gets colostrum It is the
most important meal of the
lamb’s life” he said ‘Esery
