 TABLE VI Continued. 



(a) The ewes received a ration of grain and alfalfa hay after lambing. 



(b) The ewes were continued on the same ration after lambing as they 

 h ad been receiving before lambing exepting the amount was increased. 



A study of this table shows that during the first year of these trials 

 there was little difference in the three lots. The ewes in all lots 

 practically maintained their condition. There was a slight change 

 in the average weight of the ewes in the various lots. However, the 

 difference was so small as to be of little significance. 



The first year the ewes were put on a ration of grain and alfalfa 

 hay after lambing. On this ration the lambs in Lot V made the larg- 

 est gains; those in Lot VII were second in the amount of gain per 



LAMBS FROM LOT XIII EWES WERE FED CORN SILAGE, CLOVER 



HAY AND GRAIN. 



This ration proved to be one of the most satisfactory rations for breeding 

 ewes.
