Creep for lambs
« on: May 30, 2021, 09:06:49 pm »
How long should I keep feeding creep to my orphan lambs? They are approx 12 weeks old... and love eating it... I have a 1/4 of a bag left... not sure if I need to buy more or leave them to eat grass... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mine were on it until this week when they decided to join the main flock  :roflanim:  (they were in a fenced off bit of field getting creep once a day). They are about 14 weeks old and doing just fine on grass now  :)

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Depends what you want to do with the lambs eg if you want to slowly grow them for your own breeding or eating then finish the bag and no more , if you want to sell either as prime or breeding then the faster they grow  and so can be sold before the autumn glut then buy more and keep feeding .
