In a three year comparison, lambs on wheat pasture with supplemental feed gained dressings of about one third grade and slightly higher dressing percentage, yet those with no supplemental feed were more profitable. Both groups sold at the same price, with Noble noting supplemental feeding would need about 30 cents per hundredweight to pay. Lambs on pasture yielded $3 to $5 profit per head based on a 50 cent per lamp monthly grazing charge, and wheat yields were not reduced if lambs were removed by March 15.
