Exploring the pasture
I am new to sheep, but I raise goats and chickens. I am looking forward to having feeder lambs this year and in the future, hopefully 20 ewes or so. My property has a 7 acre orchard and I would like to eventually raise enough sheep on it to keep the grass down.
Anyway, I have my first bum lamb, he sure is little! I am feeding him Land O' Lakes "Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer." That is what the supply store in my town had. I will probably have to get another bag since I am getting him a friend today, I imagine the two of them will go through more than the 25 lb. bag in the next 6 weeks.
Anyone have any good recommendations for brands? Any "organic" types out on the market? Anyone know anything about the Land O' Lakes that I am currently using. People post on this forum about the Purina brand, maybe I can get that in the next town over if it is better.
Thanks for your help!
