We'll pick out the best 80 or so lambs to keep through our herding trial in the fall. This group will include a few ewe lambs as replacements for the adult ewes we are culling and the freezer lambs for our direct sale customers. The remaining lambs will be sold after weaning to save our grass for the rest of the flock. The lambs kept till the fall that we are not keeping or are selling as freezer lambs will be sold at auction a week or two before Eid ul-Adha.
We will wean the lambs in groups after they are 8 weeks old. We'll pull off the ewes with the oldest lambs leaving their lambs with the rest of the flock. Weaning allows the ewes to regain condition faster than if we let the lambs wean naturally. We need a few ewes for a herding demonstration early in June and we want them looking good for the public.
