Fattening Lambs in a Western Feed Lot In the western states no shelter except a windbreak is commonly provided for fattening lambs. In the corn belt and eastward shelter is required to pro- tect the lambs from winter storms. (From Wallace's Farmer.) Tho the lambs fed timothy or prairie hay received a well-balanced ration, those on clover or alfalfa made much larger gains and re- quired less feed per 100 lbs. gain. Fattening lambs given all the corn and legume hay they will eat consume enough of the protein-rich hay, even toward the end of the fattening period when on a full feed of grain, to balance the ration.
