hulls/pearlings etc..

Your in C TX, there's more feed E of ya cause harvest ongoing and more good acres that way.

On your older ewes make sure they get plenty of sugar, say molasses or mix lass added to their ration.

Biggest issue with stressed ewes going down at lambing next spring is they simple did not have enough sugar in the ration.

Baled wheat or wheat straw, then soaked with molasses might be your best ration ( check some prices ).
( rice straw for your local perhaps also )

Cheap to haul alot of baled wheat because the weight is light.
Get mollasses by the load and soak on site.

Afore is the most total cost effective ( and best quality feed too ) way to go in some areas right now.
