Umbarger Lamb 17% with Barley is the “finish-and-handle” tool in the sheep lineup. When you’ve got lambs that need a little more condition, but you don’t want to wreck their look, this ration helps you add a smoother cover while tightening up the handle—the kind of practical adjustment that matters when judges sort the class.

The real advantage is the barley-forward design. This feed is widely used as a hot-weather option because barley is commonly chosen to help keep sheep eating through heat stress and maintain forward progress. If lambs go off feed, everything falls apart—so keeping intake steady is the win.

Use Lamb 17% with Barley during the growing phase on lambs that need more condition, or as a late-season finisher when you’re dialing in that final look without chasing extremes.

Key Benefits

  • Higher-barley ration designed for a smoother finish and firmer handle

  • Late-season option for lambs needing more condition

  • Can be used in the growing phase for lambs that need more condition

  • Strong hot-weather choice to help keep sheep on feed

  • Medicated for program support

Choose this feed if:

  • Lambs need a smoother finish and firmer handle

  • You’re in the late season and need a little more condition

  • You’re feeding through hot weather and need to keep lambs eating

  • You want a dependable grower/finisher option that helps refine the final look

Lamb 17% with Barley may not be the best choice if:

  • Lambs still need a true start-to-finish muscle builder as the main base ration (earlier-phase development)

  • You need to add bloom/condition fast (you may need a higher-energy, higher-fat tool)

  • Lambs are already too soft and you need to tighten them up with a more controlled program

  • Your program/show rules require a non-medicated feed only

  • You’re feeding gestating ewes and need a maintenance/gestation-specific ration instead of a show lamb grow/finish tool

Lamb 17% with Barley is a grower–finisher ration built with a higher inclusion of barley to help put a smooth finish on lambs while creating a firmer handle. It’s a proven late-season option for lambs needing more condition and a great hot-weather feed to help keep sheep on feed.
