Grain Ration Guidance for Ewes and Twin-Lambs
Feeding guidance for breeding ewes emphasizes grain in addition to pasture and forage. Include legume hay and corn silage with salt available. thin ewes struggle to wean strong lambs and store milk. Recommended rations by weight include four parts oats three parts corn one part wheat bran and one part linseed meal, or two parts oats one part wheat bran for a simpler mix.
Beginning With Sheep
Prof G G Humphrey of the Wisconsin College of Agriculture offers practical guidance for beginners in sheep husbandry. He advises using purebred rams, selecting young two to three year old ewes, discarding broken mouthed and uddered ewes, choosing ewes with good size form and dense fleece, and feeding lambs well in the first year while giving the flock attentive year-round care.
