[QUOTE="Soya UK, post: 7434993, member: 41712"] You can feed whole oats and whole lupins to lambs no problem - they digest them OK - and yes, its an excellent feed. As to whether you would grow them as a mixed crop for combining, I'd say its pretty debatable. For wholecrop, yes - lovely mix and you can clamp it or bale it no bother and its a brilliant feed. If you are combining, I suspect, you'd be better having the oats in one field, and the lupins in a separate field, and then you can give them both their specific agronomy. You'd combine them separately, and then you'd mix them in the ratio specific to your needs / formulation. Growing them together for combining doesn't bring any advantages - whereas growing them together for wholecrop does confer a number of advantages. [/QUOTE]
