i have a lamb that i use for livestock shows for ffa and i have a livestock show coming up in about 3 weeks and the minimum weight is 100 pounds. I just weighed him and he is 84 pounds. I started to add more grain to his feed a little while ago but i’m still afraid he won’t make weight in time. is there any tips or tricks to help them gain weight?

Try some beet pulp shreds, alfalfa pellets & free choice hay. Can't up grain too much as it plays bad with stomach. The things I mention are forage, basically. Assume there's free choice minerals out.
