SHORT FEED AT LAMBING.
BREEDER SAYS " NO." Commenting on the fact that the Government Veterinarian had lately advocated that lambing ewes should be kept on short feed at lambing time, Mr A. Matthews, of Featherston, who has had some 50 years' experience in the Wairarapa, and is one, of the oldest Romney breeders in New Zealand, told the Danneyirke A. and P. Association that he did not think it was right, as his experience was that if they were well fed they would not have paralysis. Ewes would often mope about, and later the wool would start to come out and the sheep would die, and a post" mortem examination would show that such sheep would be carrying two dead lambs. If ewes were put on good feed at lambing time this would be obviated.
