PROGRESSIVE SHEEP RAISING 



Rations for 



Fattening 



Lambs 



At various Stations different feeding 

 stuffs and combinations of feeds have 

 been used for fattening purposes. Ex- 

 amples are here presented to aid the 

 feeder in forming satisfactory combinations of grain 

 and roughage and to guide in determining the quantities 

 required. In all cases the rations are calculated for 100 

 head. The weight of the lambs is given in each example :
