What is the best week to attend the lambing school?
Lambing happens in a bell-shaped curve. That is a bell with a really big top. The first week is mainly for me to get the ewes settled in and a routine started. By the second week lambs are coming steady. This will go on an increasing level until the third week and starts to taper off the by the fifth week. So, the best time will depend on what you want. If you are most interested in getting as many births as possible under your belt, then the second-fifth week is the best. If you would like more time with individual ewes and lambs then the first/second and fifth/sixth weeks are better. And, if you are interested in trailing sheep, then the last week would for sure be best. Also, if you want to see how to setup a lambing camp and prepare for lambing then the week before lambing starts and the first week would be the best. A lot depends on the experience you wish to have.
