[QUOTE="Wooly, post: 6503577, member: 3924"] Sorry got it wrong ...... 40Kg. Makes it very unsustainable now !! From the EBLEX website : [URL unfurl="true"]http://beefandlamb.ahdb.org.uk/creep-feed/[/URL] The EBLEX-funded sheep key performance indicator (KPI) project has found that lambs on well-managed, re-seeded grazing can match the performance of lambs supplemented with creep feed on permanent pasture. Strategically feeding creep to some management groups can compensate for grass quality rather than feeding to all lambs. Lambs introduced to creep in the first two to three weeks after turnout can be expected to eat 40-50 kg per head if offered ad lib when grazing is kept at around 4-4.5 cm in height. On restricted grazing, lambs with limited creep feeding will gain on average an extra 1kg liveweight for every 5-6 kg of creep feed compared to unsupplemented lambs [/QUOTE]
