Reply to Supplementary Feeding Sheep in the Summer
Hi Kate, I’m starting to give them spent grain from the brewery maybe once a week. It’s basically just a filler as most of the goodness is gone. They don’t really need it as we have heaps of green grass still. I’ll start feeding hay end of January hopefully. It’s the regen mix I baled as a trial.
Cheers

Supplementary Feeding Sheep in the Summer
Hello other sheep farmers. I am keen to hear what others are supplementary feeding with, when to start, how often to feed, and how they are feeding the supplements out. (Image attention grabber only)

Sheep Farmers a year agoHi Guys,
Some of my shedders aren’t fully shedding so I’m trying to organise to get them shorn this spring to clean them up. Does anyone know what I can do with the wool scraps that come off them or if anywhere takes scrap wool like that? It’s probably about 30 sheep all up.
Cheers!

Put them on your garden or around fruit trees.

We have been using it to stabilise the ground from water run off and where sand has been dug out. Working well. I am interested to try some in our JS.
Not sure if it would be any good for felting etc?
