I’ve searched high and low looking for an answer and it seems everybody has different opinions so I’ll see what y’all think!
What do you do for winter kiddings? My does are roughly 3 weeks away at the earliest. But right now our lowest temp is around 10 and the high is 40 if we are lucky. So what do you guys do to keep newborns warm? Mine have a shelter in the main pen that is deep bedded and draft free. They will kid in a different barn but how long do you keep them in the barn? How long till they can go out in the main pen/outdoors? Do you use heat lamps? Warming barrels?
Thanks in advance! Any advice is welcome!
