HOGGET
- The feeding strategy for hoggets will depend on whether they are being fattened for sale or retained for future breeding.
- Stewarts Lamb & Hogget finisher is the obvious choice for finishing late lambs and hoggets. The formulation encourages fat deposition, while at the same time giving a fast finish for intensively fed sheep.
- Best results will come from adlib feeding, however, through feeding at 0.5kg/head per day will be adequate when there is a good supply of quality grass or forage.
- Store Hoggets for next years breeding will benefit greatly from feeding either our Sheep Nuts 15% or Lamb & Hogget Finisher over the winter period. In the case of store hoggets, 0.5kg/head per day with adequate forage will be required.
