Six rules, if followed, will go a long way toward making Iowa farmers successful in feeding lambs for market. Adopt a regular feeding schedule and stick by it. Check all your lambs twice a day.

Keep the lots dry and the housing well bedded. Provide ordinary loose salt at all times along with plenty of fresh water.
