How many of you guys have done excellerated lambing?

[shadowran]

What I mean to say is having 2 lambing's in one year, I am thinking about synchronizing all my ewes for fall breeding this next year, I know that they wont all take but some of the will, I have 8 ewes that are on a fall schedule now. I also know that feeding will be a issue, but out here I can sell the fall born lambs a whole lot faster and easier, I will still have spring lambs as all the ewes wont settle in the hotter months

thoughts?

I did it with Polypays for several years.  Usually it's lambing 3 times in 2 years, so you have a fall group, winter group and spring group.  That means you need lots of pens as you almost always have some ewes raising lamb, some just weaned lambs, keeper ewe lambs waiting to get bred, ewes with rams,, ...

IMO it increases the chances of mastitis on the ewes.
