Feeding Lambs in Dry Lot A Guide from McDonald
C W McDonald, extension service sheep specialist, explains feed quantities to fatten lambs in dry lot over 90 to 95 days. For 60 to 65 pound lambs, use 2 to 4 bushels of corn and about 140 pounds of legume hay, with oats added optional at 1 to 1 1/2 bushels per lamb. Oilmeal adds 15 to 20 pounds per lamb if used, and pasture starter reduces required concentrates.
