[Jacob-list] Jacob-list Digest, Vol 37, Issue 13

[Victoria da Roza]

I only feed COB in the spring.  During the last month
before birth and all during lactation they get cob,
alfalfa pellets and grass hay.  I personally have not
found that flushing before breeding does anything for
my sheep.  I only do the supplements when they are
totally involved in the birth process cause you do not
want them to get fat and have trouble birthing.  I
find if I do not grain them with the nursing they just
get too thin and run down.  Victoria
