  All/k is the {ms! [ood lor the young lamb. The lamb that gets
ip the most milk gains the lastest. Sometimes, however, the lambs
tlo not get enough milk and grain and must be led il they are to
gain as they should. Build a creep where the lambs can go and eat
by themselves. Inside this creep place a trough lor grain and put
into it a grain mixture ol 5 pounds coarsely ground corn, 3 pounds
IW rolled oats, 3 pounds wheat bran, and l pound linseed oil meal.
(Zheaper leeds which give good results are corn alone and a mixture
ol corn and oats. -
Nl T/tc lzrerl gtiizles as Io //1t· qumi/[/y Io frm! are the appetites ol
the lambs and the judgment ol the leeder. Keep the trough clean.

the pasture improves the lambs eat less grain. Bear in mind that
1) il the pasture is poor, more grain will be required than il it is good.

_ is to purchase a lew more ewes. The sale ol ram and wether lambt Ifregi
