Concerning feeding lambs, which of the following statements is most accurate? "Grower" rations are for lambs weighing 15 to 25 kg (30 to 50lbs), and "finisher" rations are for those weighing 25 to 40kg (50 to 80 lbs). Hand-raised lambs are weaned from milk replacement formulas at 8 weeks of age. Lambs can be fed a relatively low-quality feed once they reach a weight of 10kg. Large, fast-growing lambs being fed high-grain rations are particularly susceptible to a bacterial "overeating disease" (enterotoxemia) that can cause death.
