With the higher fuel prices I've seen the price of feed jump a lot the
last 2-years and I wanted to take a survey of feed prices you're
seeing.

What's the average price for feed in your area per pound for 12 - 14%
protein feed?
How is it purchased - In bulk or bag?

Houston:
Bulk supplied feed, 12%, All-stock, is about $8.75 per 50 lbs  ( $ 0.175/Lb)
50 lb bag, 14% show feed is at $10.25 ( $ 0.205/Lb)

For those of you who wean your lambs . . .
How long do you keep lambs separated before you re-introduce them back
into the flock?  2 Months?
