Overnight separation of lambs

[cdezayas]

Those of you with diary sheep, at what age do you start separating the lambs overnight to milk mom in the morning?

I'll be interested in this answer because MOST sheepies on here don't milk....exception, emergency kid assist. Sad but true. 😋

When we were milking our ewes, we would start around 3-4 weeks for overnight separation of the lambs. Nighttime works best as the lambs and moms are tired and want to sleep anyways. Make sure they can't nurse through the fence between them
