I have new sheep to my flock… a ewe with 2 lambs at foot and one other ewe… currently they r all being fed ewe nuts which they are going mad for… no interest in creep at all… How long do I feed ewe nuts for and should lambs be eating it? They are 14 weeks.

I normally try for 4-6 weeks after lambing, depends when the bag runs out :roflanim: you could stop now, by 14 weeks milk quantity is negligible and the lambs should be grazing well.

If you are feeding nuts specifically for ewes not to be fed to rams ,then you need to stop feeding if you have male lambs ( castrated or not )
