Barley Versus Oats for Wintering Ewe Lambs
A Dominion Experimental Station trial in Saskatchewan compared barley and oats as roughage for growing ewe lambs held for breeding. Two groups of fifteen lambs fed identical rations with one group receiving oats and the other barley. Over about 91 days the oats group averaged 12.5 pounds gain per head while the barley group averaged 14 pounds. Quality of grain affected gains. good quality barley may outperform oats pound for pound. Relative price and quality thus drive choice for feeding growing ewe lambs.
