We are in the process of changing from creep feed to Honor. We also want to increase 1/4 pound at the same time. Anyone ever had any problems doing this at the same time? They are already half on Honor at this point.

I would switch them over to the new feed, wait a week and start to slowly increase, JMO.

we always go slow which switching feeds, I tell the kids to do this, 1/4 of old for 3 days than 1/2 and 1/2 for 3 days and than 3/4 of the new and a 1/4 of new the last 3 days next go to the new feed all the time and yes wait a week to increase like Kassiesmom said.

depends on the weight of the lambs. If they weigh 80 to 90 lbs, adding 1/4 ld a day will not hurt them.

I`d wait almost a week of being on the one feed before I`d bump them too much, especially in this heat
