Creep Feed Area

This is the beginning of the construction of the Creep Feed Area

 The newborn lambs can start to consume creep feed as soon as 7 days old.

Lambs don't eat much at first, but consumption increases with each day.  This method of feeding is an advantage to the ewe that has 3 or 4 lambs as she would not have enough milk for all the lambs without the supplemental nutrition of the creep feed.

The idea is to restrict the access of the ewe based on her size. In this photo, you can see the mid level 2x4 horizontal board which can be raised or lowered to allow the lambs, and restrict the much larger ewes.
