On March 1 the Production/Parturition of Livestock Season begins. During the last weeks of pregnancy there is a need for increased feed, primarily to a more nutrient rich diet. Extra nutrition is needed to support fetal growth while maintaining the condition of the ewe. Lambing takes place on the range or in a shed. Owner and worker will move animals to permits closest to headquarters and monitor animals closely during the last weeks of pregnancy to be sure they maintain good body scores. Worker will ensure adequate feed supply, help to prepare necessary equipment, help to repair as necessary. Lambing begins April 1.
