The lambs are beginning to accept beet pulp. I will have shredded B/P on Wednesday (my sheep show a marked preference for un-soaked foods). In 30 days or thereabouts, I will come back and tell you what, if any, impact going to an all forage diet has on their rate of gain. The lambs presently average about 45 lb. with a .35 pound average daily gain from birth, .05 less than the minimum I would like to see. Some are over, some are under. There are nine lambs.
