Interesting. I didn't notice any less lambs with the ewes last year in my scouting there and honestly never paid attention to any ewes during the ram season.

the juve ram i shot last year was full of pneumonia. not sure how he was still running around as well as he was. we only saw 2 lambs in our unit.

That sucks. No sign of it in the mature ram I dealt with, but sounds like they won't have it anyways.

i think the rams can handle it, but lamb recruitment is like 5% in infected sheep. kills just about every one of them.
