POINTS IN WINTER
ING BREEDING EWES

Proper management of breeding
ewes during the winter is particularly
essential to insure thrifty and profit
able spring lamb crop. D. A. Spencer,
sheep extension specialist to the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture suggests the following points
Provide bluegrass, wheat or rye pas
ture. Winter pasture will reduce the
expense of feeding the flock and pro-
vide exercise which is so necessary
for pregnant ewes. Pregnant ewes
should travel the equivalent of mile
each day. When winter pasture is not
available the ewes are often penned up
too close, which results in reduced
vigor of both eve and lamb. Utilize
cheap roughages, but have each eve
gain Is to rs pounds during preg-
nancy. Ewes weighing 120 to $50
pounds when in good thrifty condi-
ton can be wintered successfully on
the daily ration of two pounds of good
clover, or alfalfa hay and two pounds
of good corn stover (amount eaten)
until one month before Landing. Old
thin ewes and younger growing ewes
may need one-fourth to one-half pound
of grain a head per day in addition.
Feed about one-half pound of grain
per head daily to all ewes during the
last month of pregnancy. Good le-
gume hay is needed especially at this
time. A good grain mixture is she'll
ed corn and whole oats, equal parts
by weight.
