Feeding the Pregnant Ewe
Pregnant ewes should receive three to four pounds of silage per head daily in winter. Add two to three ounces of cotton seed cake daily and some hay. Silage increases milk after lambing and aids fattening of lambs and yearlings for market.

A historical note warns that feeding silage to sheep is generally safe for most flocks but breeding ewes fed silage alone or almost entirely silage can produce weak lambs in spring. It recommends supplementing with hay and some grain for ewes near lambing.

A correspondent asked the British Royal Botanic Society about seeds from a bridal wreath on a 5,000-year-old Egyptian mummy.
