Care of Feeder Lambs by Watkins at Geotana Beate College
Feeder lambs thrive when ewes are well nourished before lambing and afterward. Newly born lambs need clean facilities and green grass. Early separation, selective grouping, and extra feed for twin-bearing ewes boost growth and profits. Adequate ewe nourishment, sanitation, and personal breeder attention are key to strong feeder lambs.
