Lamb"’F€iTling

a profitable industry nml like nil other arts cannot be restricted by arbitary rules and regulations. However. some assistance can be given to less experienced feeders by way of suggestions and advice based upon the experiences of other feeders and on trials conduc- ted by Dominion Experimental Farms and Stations and other in- stitutions. Since l9li feeding trials with lambs have been conducted in Alberta at the Lethbridge Experi- mental Staticn. Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, and, with the idea that the condensed results of these trials will be helpful to lamb feeders throughout Canada. 9. bul- letin entitled "Lamb Fezuing in southern Alberta" has been issued for the benefit of sheep producers and lamb feeders in the various provinces.

General lamb feeding practices, plans of feeding equipment. rank- ing of rations. detailed tabulations and‘ comparkson of rations, finan- cial aspect and statement, and gen- eral results of the trial are some of the principal items dealt with and give definite and intesestllig in- formation to those farmers who may be planning to include lamb feeding in their farm program. The future of the lamb feeding industry is bright but it is only through it carefully planned pro- gram of economical production that the individual feeder can hope to achieve the greatest success. It is R foregone conclusion that lambs will not be equally profitable every year and under nil conditions. In fact. losses will occur in some years. but as a long-venture operation lamb feeding may be looked upon as B permanent venture so that losses in unfavorable years may be made better in good times. The man who plays the market to make is “killlx-ig" in certain years will in the end suffer loss. Investment in equipment alone is another factor that calls for B long-time program in order to spread the cost over a large number of lambs and not be a. burdensome item in any one year.

Lamb feeding is an art as, well as .

the ordinary farmer to

himsef in a flock of sheep. Sheep Will. of course, thrive best

where im abundance of grass is

must remember that sheep natur- iilly like to live on hills and will m5Ve abcut 10 find feed on very poor pasture.

Perhaps there is no other more villuiibie source of information than the actual experience of many suc- cessful breeders. The feeding methods of the breeder in mind be- am with the ews. which, 1 may say. are allowed to run out 35 much as possible, having B. she‘.tcr behind it windbxeak of trees‘ nnd so can get ilway from storms.

The field flock is considered the best from which to breed. They are fzd alfalfa and straw. cut and mixed, and also red clover. Alfalfa with | plentiful supply of leaves, is regarded as too rich feed for breeding ewes. Roots are in high favor. turnips being preferred and are fed liberally.

When the lambs begin to arrive. the ewes are ireated well. as milk is the best diet, for young lambs, and ewes must be well fed to milk well.

Whole oats and brim are the concentrates fed. About 1 1-2 lbs. per day is the ration for a nurs- ing ewe, and if turnips are plenti- ful vcry lintle. if any, bran need be fed. in any event. only about one-third of this ration would be bran. The ewes are fed ensilege for B Jew weeks before lambing and are then fed tuinips.

From a ciosc observation ul one's fiock of sheep the caretaker soon recognizes ilie unde:irable habits in them to be avoided.

The ewe fha , at the approach of any person gets her head up and leaps off in a mad scamper. with the flack following her, usually does not remain long as one of the flock. On the other hand, the ewe that comes up and looks you in the face. unafraid, and wi h quiet confidence is considered a favorite. us she seems ‘o emphas’se the good feeling that should exit be- tween the attendant and the farm aninuls under ills charge. The plan on this particular farm is to develzp tllosc quiet cliamcierlstics in the flock. Restless ewes do not do ivefl by their lambs. Tempera- ment plays an important part, in weeding out a flock.

The lambs for show purposes come along in March and are taken mm of as soon as they are ready .0 take 3. little feed. Earlier lambs are not much favored. as there is no advantage in keeping lambs going right ahead, and this can be done easier if the mothers can get some grass when the lambs are a month old.

The lambs begin to take 3 little feed in a creep when about ten days old. Tile creep is made with openings too narrow for the sheep. Whole oats. bran and pea-size oil cake is the mixture given the lambs and they must be watched that they do not gel too much.

The lambs get out on grass early in May and are brought in every night and fed 8. mixture composed of cats 100 lbs.. bran 50 lbs, and oil cake 50 lbs. They sre given what they will clean up of this.

Succulent green feed is an im- portan‘. factor in feeding these lambs. Oats and vltches and rape are grown for indoor feeding. and cabbages come in for liiter Autumn feeding.

The lambs are weaned early in August and an effort is made to spare them any evil effects of being deprived of milk. with 3 good sup- ply of succulent green feed. and healthy, hear y appetitles for grain. the lunbs never get any setbnck when weaned.

Wcther lambs thst may fine‘ly go into the show group are fed no grain until after they are weari- ed. These lambs run with their mothers on the grass, getting no feed except the milk and clover pasture.
