Lamb Feeding Experiment in Riverton Wyoming
Riverton correspondent reports a lamb fattening venture with Wyoming Central Irrigation Co. to plant 100 acres in fresh peas this season. J A Delefelder and General Manager Chatterton plan lambs for pea fattening with weigh in and out, sharing profits from flesh increase. Estimated 6000 lambs fed per 100 acres could add about 95 pounds per head, yielding about 1.60 dollars profit per lamb for peas planters and doubling lamb prices for feeders. If field pen planting expands, Riverton canal area could fatten up to 100000 lambs annually, turning Riverton into a major eastern market center, with pea vines serving as fattening forage.
