I was wondering how everyone else works on exercising their lambs. I put mine on a track with about 2ft jumps and later work on the handling such as bracing.

Absolutely! We worked lambs and goats along side each other, and they loved jumping on the barrels all day long. (while the goats played, we had a southdown that would place his front legs atop the barrel and slide down the rest of the way. lol
