Suggested rates run 0.25 to 0.75 lb per head per day for maintenance, 0.75 to 1.25 lb through gestation, 1.50 to 3.00 lb during lactation, and 1.00 to 2.00 lb for replacement breeding stock. Shepherd 16 may also be fed to growing lambs where an optimum rate of gain is not the goal. Treat these ranges as a guide, since management, environment and breed shift requirements. Store the bag in a cool, dry place, well away from any copper-containing goat or horse feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Kent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: Sheep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Stage: Breeder and mature maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed Form: Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude Protein: 16.00% minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude Fat: 3.00% minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude Fiber: 12.00% maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalcium: 1.00% to 1.50%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelenium: 0.4 ppm minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag Size: 50 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop by Garoppo's Stone \u0026amp; Garden Center and Feed \u0026amp; Pet Supply to pick up a bag, or schedule local delivery within our service area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kent","offers":[{"title":"50 LB","offer_id":56036416487716,"sku":"43186","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/5322\/9860\/files\/home-fresh-shepherd-16-b481-j9465-hf-shepherd16-50lb-front1500px_9e5e9099-8ace-412e-b7fa-81fec486dc70.png?v=1787234816","url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/products\/home-fresh-shepherd-16-sheep-feed","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
