Farm notes on breeding ewes and hog feeding tips
Ewes should gain weight during breeding season. Pigs must not eat chickens when possible. Soybeans should not replace corn in hog fattening as alone they soften pork. A recommended method is to grow soybeans with corn and hog the crop, keeping a self feeder of minerals handy. Paint extends building life and enhances farm appearance.
Lamb Feeding Offers a Means of Marketing
Lamb feeding has proven profitable in recent years and serves as a strong marketing channel for feed. Western range lambs are safer to feed than farm raised natives, which often suffer stomach worms and poor gains. Markets favor fat lambs under 90 pounds and pay less per hundredweight for heavier stock. Feeder lambs should enter the feed lot at no more than 70 pounds.
