The full moon tonight got me thinking about the stars so I went digging and found this, it may be nothing but it could be an indication of something disturbing:
The STAR Management | Cornell Sheep Program
STAR© accelerated lambing system was developed by Brian Magee and Doug Hogue. The benefits of the system are easy management to provide lambs for year-round marketing and increasing production per ewe.
There are always 3 groups of sheep within a flock managed on the STAR system. These are:
-
Breeding and pregnant ewes and the rams.
-
Lambing and/or lactating ewes and their lambs.
-
Growing lambs – both market lambs and the replacement ewe lambs.
