Profitable Wintering of Farm Animals
Three classes of stock guide winter feeding costs. Class I mature nonincome animals should be kept lean but not rundown, with cheap roughages and added concentrates. Class II young stock must be fed properly to avoid stunting, using grain, hay, silage, and exercise. Class III breeding stock and hogs require targeted rations, with roots and byproducts supplementing field feeds. Cornstalk disease cautions and shelter access emphasized.

Winter care for ewes to ensure strong lambing
The article outlines winter feeding and housing for ewes to secure a healthy spring lamb crop. Thrifty ewes need minimal grain before lambing, while thin sheep receive 1/4 to 1/2 lb daily. Preferred rations include six parts corn to three parts bran and linseed cake, or corn oats and bran in equal parts. Hay, preferably clover or alfalfa, should be offered as available, with corn silage or silage hay substitutions. Salt and water must be provided, and ewes need a dry, well-bedded stall.
Excellent Feed For Growing Pigs And Horse Grooming
Skimilk proves valuable for hog feed, equaling six pounds skim milk to one pound grain, mainly as a growing pig supplement and muscle builder. For fattening hogs, use three pounds skim milk per one of grain, balance the ration. If skim milk is scarce, prioritize growing pigs and supplement fatteners with tankage, per Orange Judd Farmer. Thorough horse grooming advice follows about washing harness marks and cleaning feet after work.
