Isn't it early for new lambs? We put the rams in with the ewes Sept 15 but I don't expect any lambs till at least early March.  This year the first one was March 31.  All the rest were born in a 3 day period. April 20 -22.

As I've mentioned before, we run the rams with the ewes year round. Yes, this is early, as we normally start lambing in December. Different strokes for different folks. We have done it this way for years, as we really do not have a good place to isolate the rams. We like to have a nice set of lambs to sell in June/July. Early lambs can result from many factors relative to the ewe, and weather can affect both ewes and rams to breed early in the spring and summer,
