    As the title suggests I have 50 crossbred ewes that all ran with a Ram in October-November, due to get them scanned next week but just wondering how much nuts I should be allowing per ewe, this time of year? I know it will depend on singles,twins or dry ewes but anyone got a guideline?

    Also depends what else they are getting, hay, silage, grass etc

    Are they generally in good or poor order?

    They are in good order. the only other feed they are getting is grass but it is scarce enough at the moment.

    They should be ok until scanning if still in good order, if you think they are very scarce I would give them around 250/300g per day IMO
