I have noticed that this post is getting a good amount of views and for good reason, when you do your feeding times has been well studied on how it effects when your momma’s will lamb, kid or calf out.

This is a very good thing for those that work from the farm as they can bring far more babies being born in the first part of the day and get better sleeps or flipping it, you can with correct feeding work towards having your birthing happen at night when you are home if you are working off the farm on regular full time hours.

Its all a matter of when you feed out your hay, if you want 6am morning, feed after 6pm. This does not work if you are feeding round bales and they are on full access 24/7, but it works wonderfully if you are feeding out twice a day.
