James OrrHOST
So, I mean, how does, how does numbnuts fit in with your, your normal kind of lamb arcing routine?

Ewan RuncimanGUEST
So lambs are, yeah, lambs are turned out of the shed and then we'd be going back in with four, four weeks of age, four to six weeks of age to give them a mineral, mineral drench, a warmer, and to jag them as well with heptavac or rovivac pee.

Ewan RuncimanGUEST
So instead of just doing that with them all over a week or so, we've moved and tried to make a bigger handling as such.

Ewan RuncimanGUEST
So we just try and cut all the March born lambs in one weekend and then we normally get the April born ones in a day as well.

James OrrHOST
yeah that's a big day have you noticed any difference in the lambs themselves like differences in behavior growth rates anything like that
