Day 1: Feed high quality colostrum at a minimum of 5-10% of the lamb’s body weight. Ex: A 10 lb lamb needs 8-16 oz colostrum total. Feed 50% within 2-4 hours of birth, and the other 50% within 12 hours of birth.

Day 2-35: Feed Exceed Lamb Milk Replacer. See product page for feeding schedule and tips.

Day 28- Onward: Introduce good quality 2nd cut hay, starting with a small handful daily (ideally 5-10% of total dry feed).

Maintenance: Switch from starter to Sheep Complete Pellets OR Stock NCA Sweet 16% fed free choice with limited amounts of high quality forage. If grain consumption exceeds 2-2.5% of body weight per day, supplement with a high quality forage.

Pasture or forage only diets: Feed Sheep 1:1 Mineral free choice. Optimal intake is 1-2 oz/head/day.
