lambs, resulting in more visits to
the creep feeder and/or more
feed eaten

help control coccidiosis, we use
Bovatec® which fights coccidiosis
more aggressively

mineral ratio to ensure lambs
reach full potential

We have a case study underway at Paragon Farm with a trial group of 35
lambs, details as follows:
Avg. BWT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10.71
Avg. weight 50 days . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42.8
Avg. creep feed consumption . . . . . . . . . .0.25 lb
Avg. grass hay consumption . . . . . . . . . . . 0.02 lb
Total feed cost / lamb 50 day period . . . $5.40
Continued study: From 50-80 days we will feed starter and weigh lambs
again, then switch them to finisher for the last 20 days. At 100 days they
should weigh 100 lbs or more. Our typical conversion is 3.1 lb grain for 1
lb of gain. We hope to send a newsletter out in middle of the year with
the final results.
