Ewes need priority feeding after lambing

 

Key points

  • Feeding levels at this time of the year will determine whether productivity targets are achieved
  • Single-suckling ewes should be fed twice maintenance
  • Twin-suckling should be fed three times maintenance
  • Feed quality is extremely important
  • Early weaning or creep grazing should be considered if feed is short
