Hay and Silage Guidance for Ewes in Harvest Fields
County Extension Director John Johnson of Emmetsburg warns ewes grazing harvested cornfields need extra hay or silage. A normal early pregnancy ration is 4 pounds daily, with an additional 2 pounds of legume hay per ewe in fields. Silage can replace hay at three pounds per one pound, with protein and energy supplements advised for corn and grass silage. Start grain supplements three weeks before lambing, then increase to seven pounds daily near lambing, plus salt and water.
