[Jacob-list] To creep feed or not to creep feed???

[Kelly Przylepa and Rich Moore]

Does anyone give their lambs creep feed? The local feed store sells lamb
creep feed (21% protein).

It also contains  lasalocid (15 mg/lb). According to one of my sheep books
this is "...a coccidiostat
that prevents coccidiosis. It is also an ionophore that promotes better feed
conversion (pounds of feed need to produce a pound of gain." Anyone have
experience with this? I don't like to give my animals any meds they don't
need.
