Sue, we have two 5'x 5'and one 4'x12' pens set up in our barn. We have the heat lamps over each one. We only use them if it is an absolute necessity, such as rain, snow, sleet, or the mother won't take them. When they have them out in the pasture and the weather is extremely bad, we pick up the little ones about knee high and lead mom into the stall. Fortunately, it doesn't happen that often. We lost one lamb ewe a couple of years ago due to frostbite. The mothers hate it, so we limit their stay and the weather permits. In the smaller stalls, we can easily fit two ewes with their little ones.
