Here’s your tip/trick for the week and I’m sure it’ll come in handy here during lambing season!
We’ve seen lots of post of ewes not accepting a lamb or ewes mixing/stealing lambs.
Everyone has had it happen a time or two. Head gates usually do the trick after a few days, but having to tie, hold or restrain ewes to let lambs nurse certainly gets old.
We had a cattle producer tell us a few years ago to sq**rt 1 cc/mL of oxytocin up each nostril. You should see ewes accept those lambs within 10 minutes and never bat an eye at those lambs again.
