Experiment in lamb feeding in the west
Wyoming experiment station completed a yearlong study on lamb fattening to find the best ration. Trials compare native hay with oats and oil meal against alfalfa hay with corn, plus peas in the field and pea hay. Results show pea hay poor for fattening, native hay plus oats yields 20.3 pounds gain per lamb in 14 weeks, while alfalfa hay and corn produce about 24.3 pounds. Peas in the field supported six lambs per 14 weeks, with 18.3 pounds gain per head. Sweet clover shows promise, with 30.7 pounds gain on one lot versus 34.4 on alfalfa. Overall native hay oats oil meal produce less gain than alfalfa corn by a bit under two-thirds over the period.
