You noted that most of your lambs were rams. It was raining. Were your sheep bunched together for long periods. I had this same thing happen last winter, only I just found the lambs dead. There were 6 rams that I knew of 7 dead ones. I determined sex from memory after I started looking for clues other than frozen to death or crowded together and crushed. I got rid of my ram (did not really like him much anyhow) and quit having dead lambs. I had one that fell dead in about an hour in the pen in the middle of the morning. I think my ram had hurt it enough to do internal damage. Like I said. I got rid of the ram and quit having problems. I found out through this list that sometimes young rams will kill baby ram lambs.
Just a thought.
