ewe lambs

melboy · 2010-12-07 15:49:17

I purchased a few ewe lambs to winter on the small piece of land I own. I have been feeding them "ewe nuts" but am wondering should I be giving them " intensive lamb nuts" and what actually is the difference in them. Thanks

what's your aim with them?? finish them or keep them as replacements as hoggets for next year?, if your aim to finish them i would give a ration with a good % of protein and keep at them, if you aim is to keep them bit of hay will do wonders for your pocket;)...(i personally don't think there is much difference in the nuts..if they were rams or wethers would be diffrent as some ewe nuts are not suitable for male sheep (calcium builds up and obstructs their urine or something like that..not 100% sure)..
