I just purchased two Katahdin ewe lambs, about 5 months old, two days ago. I have them in a small safe paddock with access to a nice dry stall in the barn, until they get used to things and then I let them go into a larger 3 acre pasture. I put a regular white salt block in the stall, a little hay, although they are definitely not interested in it, a bucket of fresh water of course, and I purchased a bag of premixed lamb feed that I'm just giving them about a cup between the two of them twice a day. They probably don't need any grain, but I want them to associate me with food so that they come to me, at least for food.
I understand that they may also need a mineral block, or loose minerals and I am wondering if there is a specific brand that is best. I hope to be able to just get something from Tractor Supply.
