Trials at the Iowa1 and Illinois2 Stations show that it rarely pays to grind corn for fattening lambs, except perhaps where they are already fairly fat and it is desired to continue feeding them for some time. Shelled corn is most commonly fed to sheep but ear corn and broken ear corn are satisfactory. Excellent results are secured when. Fig. 95. Sheep on Range Grazed under the "Open" Method When sheep are grazed under this improved system more can be carried on a given area than under the "mass" method. (From U. S. Department of Ag- riculture.) lambs are fed ear corn at first, changed to broken ear corn as the feed- ing progresses, and finished on shelled corn or coarsely ground corn; i. e., increasing the preparation as the lambs fatten. The other cereals.—Barley, wheat, and the grain sorghums are all relatively low in protein and therefore, like corn, should be bal- anced with legume hay or some protein-rich concentrate. Wheat and bald barley should be crushed or rolled for sheep, but there is not i Evvard, information to the authors. 2 Coffey, information to the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Henry, W.
