A Wisconsin firm fed 3 000 Montana bred lambs on pea silage and a minimal corn ration, using hand fed silage in a 60 to 70 day period. They achieved profits around 11 000 dollars, outperforming hay and heavy grain feeding. The experiment shows pea silage plus small corn ration can yield steady gains and lower costs, suggesting broad potential for regional sheep and cattle feeding.
