I can normally manage to trap successfully with ewes at most times of the year, but when they have lambs I draw the line. Lambs up to about two weeks old generally stay close to the ewe, so don’t mess with my traps, but as they get older the lambs start to run around in groups, usually in the areas I have set my traps. Also, the ewes associate my quad with getting extra feed as this is what the farmer will be doing daily, so I have the whole flock following me around.
