Sheep Farming - Quick, Easy & Simple Way To Feed Sheep

This is how we feed our sheep. Not much technology except a used skidsteer. This is just one Britespan barn. We have two more the same size plus an old dairy barn and feed approximately 500 sheep/day at the moment prelambing. Morning chores take about 1 hour and evening chores 45 minutes.

It is a very practical setup indeed. Is this feeding rack lambproof?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

I don't believe any feeder is lamb proof, but it is pretty good. Only the smartest of lambs get through! If you follow me, you will see how well they work as the lambs grow!

Interesting sheep

[@moderngoatfarming]

Nice to see such a beautiful setup of healthy sheeps, which breed of sheep is this exactly ? How many kids does it give an average or every birth ? What are the baby birth weight average ? How much weight does this sheeps gain feom birth to 6 months of age ?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

The ones with the black heads are Suffolk sheep. They average 1.8 lambs officially but it's not uncommon for us to average 2.0. They weigh about 8-10 pounds on average at birth although singles at 15 pounds are possible. Suffolks average a pound/day for the first few months with average weights of 100 pounds at 100 days. After that, growth slows somewhat. At 6 months a ewe lamb would be around 140 pounds and a ram lamb 160+ pounds

[@moderngoatfarming]

@@EwetopiaFarms Thank you for explanation

[@moderngoatfarming]

@@EwetopiaFarms one more question if you could please answer, do you feed kids milk replacer or their own mother milk ?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@moderngoatfarming sometimes we have to give milk replacer if the mother is not producing enough or is not well. Otherwise they nurse off their mothers.

[@rohailwani]

Do these sheeps remain there for whole year ? Or you take them for grazing outside?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

They are free to go to pasture when there is pasture. Right now we are snow covered so the sheep are all indoors except for the rams.

[@rohailwani]

@@EwetopiaFarms how many. Months. They remain indoors and why. Not. Rams

[@EwetopiaFarms]

[@JamesBrown-ze6lh]

Which sheep’s are best used to make wool and shearling coats

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Difficult to say because all wool is used for different purposes depending on qualities. Softer fleeces are used for finer items whereas coarser wool would be used for carpets or jackets. So it would depend on what you wanted to use the wool for. And I assume any could be used for shearling coats

[@petermalikah8324]

What's the main diet and supplement of these sheep?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Main diet is hay with 60% alfalfa and the rest a variety of assorted grasses. We supply with a 16%ration grain mix with cor, barley and roasted soybeans

[@villagesheepkm1276]

Why do they need grain?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

You don't need to feed grain. The reason it is fed is to get them to grow faster and gets them in great shape quicker than just hay.

You use silage in sheeps

[@EwetopiaFarms]

No we don't

[@FarmFreshIB]

We don't use silage for sheep here either. We either use pasture grass or hay in winter months. Silage actually takes a lot more work to process and get it right than hay does.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@FarmFreshIB yes, and it is more expensive and more chance to go bad if you don't feed it fast enough

[@natureentertainmentview7418]

How much quantity of corn you are using for each sheep ?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

It depends on their condition. At the moment, breeding ewes are getting about a pound a day split into two feedings because they are in good shape. A month before lambing we will increase that amount a little. Lactating ewes get about a pound a day morning and night for the first month and a half and then we trickle it down to nothing by weaning

It may be quick , but pushing a round bales NOT easy!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Dry bales are not bad but you do have to be big and/or strong for a wet bale!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Also hard cores bales roll better. Sift core would be terrible to try push out!

[@FarmFreshIB]

@@EwetopiaFarms I still think I would try to figure out some way to rig up a winch system or even a pulley with a cable that the tractor could pull. That way you could set the bale in place with the tractor, add some kind of center spike (like on a tractor bale unroller) and then use the cable and mechanical power to unroll the bale. At least in our part of the world the typical round bale weighs between 800 to 1,000 pounds. Arnie may be fine pushing it now, but we all get older or have physical issues from time to time. Even the flu or a sprained ankle would make your system VERY difficult to do then. I guess I just think like this because I homestead with a disability, but it is something for us all to consider.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@@FarmFreshIB so true. We are in that 60+ age range already! I agree you could probably rig something up and like you said, it may be something in our future- Arnie always love a project.
