I was just curious whether blowing out and carding leg wool helps "train" and grow the wool. I show cattle and i know rinsing and training the hair is imperative, but for lambs does it really make a difference and does it help the hair?
My second question was about feeding. My lambs are on a 15% protein lamb feed with rolled barley and a bit of flaked corn. I'm a fan of the feed cause it really gets them growing while keeping them cool. I would like a little more protein, however, and i feel like my lambs are getting soft despite exercise and the rack. Is there anything i could add to their ration to put a little firmness back on em? I was thinking calf manna? If there are any other reccomendations, that would be great. We have a show in 2 weeks!
