Sheep Feed for Ewes, Lambs and Finishing Performance
The right nutrition drives better growth, healthier ewes and market-ready lambs. CowraFeed sheep feed supports every stage of sheep production, from lambing through to finishing, with balanced rations built on locally grown grain. Whether you're lot-feeding lambs to a target weight, supporting ewes through joining and lambing or providing supplementary feeding through a dry spell, there's a formulation that does the job and protects your bottom line.
Sheep Feed Across Breeding, Growth and Finishing Stages
Ewes need the most nutrition in late pregnancy and while feeding lambs. Good feeding at these times supports strong milk production and helps lambs survive and thrive. In addition, weaned lambs need energy and protein to grow in frame and condition. As lambs approach turn-off, a finishing ration helps them reach target weight and condition efficiently for the market.
Our range of sheep stockfeed
Sheep Feed Range for Ewes, Lambs and Finishing Programs
Every feed in the range is made from locally grown grain and balanced for its stage, with well-proportioned vitamins and minerals to maintain flock immunity, bone health and reproductive success, supporting better growth and wool production.
Ewe & Lamb Pellet
Supports ewes through late pregnancy and lactation, and young lambs as they start on hard feed. Formulated to maintain body condition and milk production in ewes (and goats) during pregnancy and lactation, with additives to meet full vitamin and mineral requirements.
Lamb Finisher Pellet
A finishing ration in pellet form for consistent intake and minimal waste during lot feeding. Tailored to the protein, energy and mineral needs of growing and finishing lambs weighing between 15 and 60 kilograms. This grain-based pellet is ideal for intensive feeding setups, or where lambs need an added boost to reach sale weight.
Lamb Finisher Blend
A grain-based finishing option for producers who prefer a textured feed. Suited to weaned lambs from around 3 months of age or 15kg liveweight, this high-protein blend combines cereal grains and oils with a vitamin, mineral and acid buffer pellet.
Why a Balanced Ration Pays Off Across the Flock
Good nutrition shows up where it counts, in lambing percentages and at the sale yard, through:
- Better lamb survival and growth. Well-fed ewes in late pregnancy and lactation produce stronger lambs and more milk, lifting survival and early growth.
- Efficient finishing to turn-off. Balanced energy and protein push even, efficient growth so lambs hit target weight and condition on schedule.
- Healthy ewes and reproductive success. Balanced vitamins and minerals maintain body condition, immunity and reproductive performance across the flock.
- Strong bone and quality wool. Balanced minerals support bone health and help maintain wool production.
- Less waste and even intake. Complete pellets and balanced blends reduce sorting, so every mouthful counts, which matters most in a lot-feeding setup.
How We Make Our Sheep Feed
CowraFeed sheep rations begin close to home, with grain sourced from farms in and around the Cowra district. Keeping it local means less time between paddock and bag, and a fresher feed in your trough. From there, the grain is formulated into a complete ration, with protein, energy, vitamins and minerals tailored to the stage and class of stock being fed. It is then pressed into a consistent pellet or blended as a textured feed. Regular local production keeps stock turning over quickly, so what reaches your feeders is fresh, forming the base of a healthy, productive flock.
Right nutrition for better growth & wool production
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start supplementary feeding ewes?
Demand peaks in the last 6 weeks of pregnancy and through lactation. Feeding a balanced ration during this window supports lamb birth weight, survival and ewe condition.
Are pellets or blends better for finishing lambs?
Pellets give a uniform ration and reduce sorting and waste, which helps in a lot-feeding setup. Blends suit producers who want a textured grain feed. Both are formulated to push efficient, even growth to turn-off.
How do I safely introduce sheep to grain feeding?
Introduce grain-based feeds gradually over 10–14 days to let the rumen adjust and reduce the risk of acidosis. Always provide roughage and clean water alongside.
Can I feed these to goats too?
For mixed ruminants, our All-Purpose range is also worth a look. Talk to us about the best fit.
What quantities can I order?
From 20kg bags up to 1T bulka bags and bulk truck loads you can match the order to your mob size.
From Joining to Finishing, Need Feed Advice That Fits?
The right feed matters, but knowing how to use it through joining, lambing and finishing is what really counts. The team at CSG Cowra can help you match feed to your flock’s stage and size, plan smooth transitions between feeds, and work through issues like ewe condition, lamb growth rates or intake dropping off during a dry spell.
