The guide notes lambs gain best on corn or barley rather than oats, which fatten slower but are safe due to hulls. Lambs may receive unlimited hay from the start, and if legume hay is not used, add protein supplements such as soybeans, linseed meal, or cottonseed meal at one part supplement to seven parts grain, plus minerals.
