Organic Sheep Feed: Pellets and Cereals from Organic Farms

Organic Sheep Feed: Certified Goods for Sheep and Goats

If you farm to organic rules, you cannot improvise when you buy in feed. Every sack has to stand up to the farm inspection, otherwise a simple delivery turns into a certification problem. That is why we stock organic pellets in 20, 25 and 30 kilo sacks along with the main straight feeds: organic maize, organic barley, organic oats and organic lucerne pellets, all equally suitable for sheep and goats.

What organic certification means in the feed sack

With feed, organic is not a matter of taste but a matter of paperwork. The raw materials come from organic production without chemical synthetic pesticides and without genetic engineering, and the route from the field to the sack is documented. For you that means one thing above all: keep the delivery note and the label, because those are exactly what the inspection body asks to see. Store and label organic goods separately from conventional feed as well. A shared bin or an uncleaned scoop is enough for a batch to lose its status. In the shed itself organic feed behaves like any other: introduce it slowly and raise the amount over several days.

Finished pellet and straight feed working together

The finished pellet takes the sums off your hands. Energy, protein and minerals sit in the same nut, no animal picks out the best parts, and the ration stays the same right through the sack. That is the basis when a group stands at the trough. Straight feeds come in where you want to steer things on purpose. Organic barley and organic maize supply energy for milking ewes and finishing lambs, organic oats is the milder option with more structure and is taken well even by fussy animals. Organic lucerne pellets bring fibre and protein and make up for weak hay. That keeps the ration affordable and still matched to what the animals are doing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the feed suitable for goats as well?
Yes, the pellets are designed for sheep and goats. Neither species tolerates copper rich cattle or horse feed.

Which sack size should I take?
With few animals 20 kilos, so the sack empties quickly. For larger flocks 25 or 30 kilos works out cheaper per kilo.

Can I feed cereals on their own?
Better not. Straight cereals supply energy but no balanced mineral cover. Combine them with pellets or lucerne.
