Synopsis
This book explores the optimal ratio of grain to hay in the diet of lambs and its implications for farmers. Historically, a three-year rotation including clover has been popular in Illinois due to its profitability. The author questions the market implications if clover farming were to become more widespread, considering the feed and livestock sectors. The author explores the idea that, based on existing literature suggesting that mutton production requires less grain and hay than beef production, sheep farming may be a lucrative alternative for farmers looking to dispose of excess roughage. The book then details an experiment comparing the gains and feed consumption of four lots of ten lambs fed varying grain to hay ratios, with one lot receiving hay only. The results reveal the dramatic effect of grain reduction on hay consumption and overall feed intake, while also highlighting the trade-offs in terms of weight gain and finish. The financial implications of the different feeding strategies are also analyzed, considering the impact of fluctuating feed prices. Overall, this book provides valuable insights for farmers seeking to optimize their feeding practices for lambs, balancing roughage disposal, meat production, and profitability.
