Sheep Products

Stimulate Their Natural Immune System

Because feed costs account for the bulk of the cost of production on most  sheep farms, it is important that producers consider nutrition management a top priority.

Our products are designed to take lambs from weaning to market.  Nutrient requirements of sheep vary with the differences in age, body weight, and stage of production.  We offer ration formulas that provide the ingredients essential for proper growth, health and reproductive performance.

Promote Healthy Growth in Lambs

We make our products palatable for lambs because we know how important it is for your lambs to start eating properly You also want your and develop a consistent feeding pattern.  Lambs need balanced supplements to stimulate their natural immune system. Creep diets may be particularly important during the winter.

Energy and Protein Requirements of Ewes

Ewe body weight does not remain constant throughout the year, but changes through the breeding, gestation and weaning stages of production.  Nutrient requirements are lowest for ewes during maintenance, increasing gradually during the gestation period and highest during lactation.  Your decisions about feeding management are improved  by knowing the body weight and condition of your ewes at the following three levels:  three weeks before breeding; mid-gestation; and weaning.

After lambing, the energy and protein requirements of the ewe increases significantly and you need supplements to fend off body weight loss, low milk production, poor lamb gains, and mismothering.  This is especially important for ewes with multiple births.

Rams at Their Peak

Today, rams have larger mature body weights and forage alone is not adequate nutrition for keeping rams at their peak during their 45-day breeding season.    During this time rams can lose up to 12 percent of their body weight - that's around thirty pounds for a 250 pound ram.   Poor nutrition is a major cause of ram mortality.
