With the National Trade Lamb Indicator averaging $12/kg cwt since the beginning of September, the race is on to get lambs up to spec and into the market in order to take advantage of record prices.
The anticipated bump in seasonal supply leading into the new year and beyond will likely see easing of prices on a weekly basis as more lambs achieve finished weights.
Our recommendation to produce bigger lambs on green feed FASTER
Green Feed + Grain + StockMins-Crop Grazer Plus = Rocket Fuel for Lambs
If you’re keen on making the best use of your green feed and getting your lambs stacking on weight and into the market sooner don’t look past supplementing lush green feed with grain and StockMins-Crop Grazer Plus: Green Feed Supplement for Sheep.
ANP’s general recommendation is to supplement lush green feed (including spring grasses, legumes, brassicas and grazing crops) with 400g/hd/day of grain (barley) and ad-lib StockMins-Crop Grazer Plus: Green Feed Supplement for Sheep (25g/hd/day)
What does it do:
Grain dilutes the high level of protein in lush green feed with a high starch (energy), while Crop Grazer Plus boosts feed conversion efficiency, energy utilisation and immunity of growing livestock.
In combination, this diet has proven in many green feed grazing scenarios to significantly boost liveweight gain and conserve green feed for longer.
Recent trial supports many years of anecdotal evidence
The Crop Grazer Plus Pasture Grazing Trial saw second cross lambs grazing a lucerne, clover and ryegrass pasture average 360g/hd/day when supplemented with 500g/hd/day of barley and StockMins-Crop Grazer Plus.
- The top 25% of lambs averaged liveweight gain of 501g/hd/day
- Middle 50% of lambs averaged liveweight gain of 363g/hd/day
- Bottom 25% of lambs averaged liveweight gain of 212g/hd/day
