Title: Feeding ewe
Post by: kelly58 on April 10, 2014, 04:52:13 pm
How often do you feed concentrate to a ewe feeding twin lambs 2 days old, still in pen in shed, got hay ?
Dont want to put em out just yet as the lambs are Boreray and are wee  :love:

We feed the pen ewes the same time as everyone else, but I sneak an evening meal in to, past theyre keen hearing lol, a lot tend to take they're time with they're grub some just scoff it.  Either way yes I like to make sure they have plenty of ewe 18 and a little gp mix for variety x
