ALPHA FEED- explained

“IDEAS ON THE NEW ALPHA SHEEP AND GOAT FEED”

With a 13% protein, 3.5% fat and 15% fiber level, the Alpha is a great choice to start any newly acquired lamb/goat on feed. Alpha makes a great transition from the producer’s creep pen to your post-weaning development stage. The Jacoby feeders that like to get them started with Safe Start can sure use the Alpha at some point as a next step developer that increases the fat level and protein slightly. Alpha is a great choice to start most breeds of sheep and goats.

Black face feeders who are looking for a higher protein and energy level can integrate the Jacoby’s Omega feed that is designed to blend with the Alpha smoothly with less digestive upset as you raise the protein and calories in the animal’s diet. A 50/50 mix of Alpha and Omega puts you at a 15% protein, 5% fat and 13% fiber. This ration is my personal preferred feed for developing black face lambs going the full distance from the county show to the spring majors here in Texas. For feeders who have some animals in need of a higher protein diet with lower fat levels our Jacoby’s bypass top dress can give you this option with the Alpha ration. Next time we will dive in the new Omega sheep and goat rations. Thanks, and good luck with your stock.
