“Total Per Cent Lambing Rules” by Thomas Boylan is a comprehensive guide on the practices and principles of lambing sheep, specifically tailored to those managing lambing under range conditions. Written in the early 20th century, the book is a scientific publication that aims to provide practical advice and actionable guidelines for both inexperienced shepherds and seasoned ranchers alike, focusing on the needs of pregnant ewes and newborn lambs. Boylan's work emphasizes the importance of careful attention and management in order to achieve a high percentage of successful lambing. The book is structured around the operational processes involved in lambing, including preparatory measures for ewes, handling newborn lambs, and maintaining optimal conditions for both animals. Boylan discusses various techniques for ensuring the well-being of the sheep, such as the timing of feeding, bedding arrangements, and methods to prevent predation. He also addresses common challenges like the care of weak or sick lambs, dealing with adverse weather conditions, and the role of knowledgeable shepherds. Furthermore, Boylan provides rules regarding the mixing of ewes and lambs post-birth to minimize stress and ensure efficient management. Overall, this guide serves as an essential reference for anyone involved in sheep husbandry, aiming to maximize the success of lambing operations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
