As the lambs begin to drop here in Sonoma County- Here’s a few helpful tips for a successful and healthy season;

1. For ewes with expected multiples or that are older, consider increasing energy in their feed up to 1 month prior to lambing. Start by adding concentrates at 1/4 lb- 1/2 lb per ewe per day for prevention of pregnancy toxemia. Make sure ewes are not overconditioned in this period.

2. Vaccinate for CDT up to 1 month prior to lambing. Those that haven’t been vaccinated before need to be boostered. Give BoSE injections 4-6 weeks prior to lambing.

3. Know when to call your vet when there are problems lambing. Generally expect 20 minutes from the start of stage 2 (active labor) to have a hoof or head break the water bag. Then expect after the bag is ruptured 20 minutes for the delivery of the first lamb, and 20 minutes for each subsequent lamb. Only those experienced should intervene with labor as uterine tissue is can easily tear in sheep.

4. Always make sure you have a clean and dry lambing area, free of build-up of f***s and mud.

If you have any questions or need assistance- as always call (707)-782-8863, I’m here to help!
