What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Susan Robertson conducted research at Charles Sturt University comparing confined lambing to paddock lambing for Merino ewes. The study found that at a specific stocking rate, 92% of single lambs were marked in both scenarios, suggesting the confined practice is viable. However, the researchers noted issues with pre-lambing prolapse when studying twins.
