Flushing is the practice of increasing nutrition before breeding to improve
ovulation rate and lambing percentage. Timing and level of increase matter.

**Timing:** Begin flush two to three weeks before ram turnout and continue
through the first two to three weeks of breeding. Earlier or later flush
has less effect on ovulation.

**Method:** Improve plane of nutrition through better pasture, supplemental
grain, or higher-quality hay. Target modest gain (one-half to one pound
per week for mature ewes) rather than excessive gain. Thin ewes respond
more than ewes already in good condition.

**Monitoring:** Weigh ewes at flush start and periodically. Observe body
condition; overfeeding does not improve results and may increase costs.
Record flush protocols for comparison across years.
