Is Creep Feeding Sheep and Goats Worth It

Thanks Tim.

You are very welcome. Thank you!

Thank you! This was tremendously useful information. I raise hair sheep primarily and they are grassfed/grass finished and theyve done amazing on it. The key i think is having sufficient, quality pasture or hay, just like you say.

Thank you for watching and thank you for taking the time to leave a kind message. Best wishes to you!

Awesome. I'm raising hair sheep and would love to raise them lambs on pasture. We're setting up rotational grazing fences now so i guess i need to look into creep feeding them grass. 😊

Thanks for info on the "LITTLES", DONT want the fat sheep pigging out on expensive feed. Would this work on medium sheep or calves?

[@LinessaFarms]

Yes. Many people creep feed calves. For medium size sheep going to market, it can help with body confirmation.

Thank you Tim. I am raising Boers what kind of creep feed would you consider for a 4 week old buckling? Should I let it eat its Dams medicated goat feed for prevention of Coccidiosis ?

[@LinessaFarms]

I would consider a good texturized feed for goats (a pellet is ok too) that is medicated for coccidia prevention. 16% is great for kids. Just watch your calcium to phosphorus ratio and ideally if you could find a feed with ammonium chloride included, that would be even better.
