Creep Feeding - is it worth it

    G'day Lads.

    Nearly done with our first full season of lambing - got involved with the flock midway last year. What a manic few weeks!

    I am now thinking about our lambs, and how to get most of them out of the farm gates as soon as possible. From my experience last year, we didn't have a whole lot of financial success in holding onto and feeding our lambs once they were older. We might hold onto a few of our strongest males, and a few replacements, but will endeavor to sell the rest sooner rather than later.

    SO on that account, is there much research done on whether or not creep feeding stacks up? We're split with twins / singles really, and have no shortage of grass once the summer arrives.

    Have spotted this one which seems pretty reasonable in price compared to some of the larger ones I've seen. We'd be feeding around 80 lambs.
