8 RAISING LAMBS ON milk REPLACERYves M. Berger and Richard A. SchlapperSpooner Agricultural Research StationUniversity of Wisconsin -MadisonIntroductionIt is well known that the number of LAMBS born per ewe per lambing is the most importanttrait for the profitability of a sheep enterprise. Producers should approach a 200% lamb a few producers, using highly prolific breeds ( Finn, Romanov) in a crossbreedingsystem, achieve and even surpass this percentage. At the Spooner Agricultural Research Station,the level of prolificacy was quite high, reaching 300% in adult Romanov x Targhee eweslambing in March-April. This high level of prolificacy implies that single LAMBS are anexception, and triplet and quadruplet LAMBS are the rule. Although quite a few ewes are able toraise three LAMBS (some even raise four), many can raise only two.
