We've had 4 ewes lamb so far, 3 sets of twins and 1 single..6 bucks and 1 ewe. All have been born healthy, but then the one buck got his leg broke but he's still acts like a lamb, tries to jump around  and play. So we're happy. We have 3 more ewes to lamb., I think one is going to today.

Is it ok to feed cob and alfalfa to the bred ewes all the way through gestation, or should the grain be stopped at some point and then restarted? Also. how much grain should they get,
