Feeding program shifts oats to corn for fat lamb by market
State College expert LaGrange notes at midway of feeding oats should be replaced by corn to favor fat gain. With 150 to 176 pounds of corn silage per lamb hay can drop to about 50 pounds while doubling protein supplement. legume-grass silage allows halving alfalfa and slight protein cut. Mineral mix and ample water must be available at all times.

Ewe Flock Fits On Farms With Little Corn
Marion County farmers increasingly use sheep as a supplemental enterprise amid rising Corn Belt sheep numbers. Experts note ewes clean up fall corn fields, utilize otherwise unused forage, and fit farm programs with minimal extra labor. Breeding plans advise winter hay, small daily grain, and silage as needed, with early lambs aimed at June markets and later lambs fattening on good pasture for late summer sales.
