I read somewhere that New Zealand lambs are 100% herded. Is this
true, i. e. do they eat only grass and leaves, or do they get some
supplement as well especially some ground carcass that can cause
prior infection (I want to be able to eat the marrow as well)?

Hi Hans,
You are quite right New Zealand lamb 100% herded over here!!! We don't have
the weather extremes of other countries so yes our lambs are ONLY fed on
pasture, no ground carcass, we have enough natural feed here all year
round!! During spring (Aug to Oct, approx) when the lambs are born there is
abundant feed for them and their Mum's (ewe's).
We live in the South Island where most of the sheep stations are (all many
hundreds of acres). In the North Island it is mostly cattle and dairy with
some sheep farms, smaller than stations.
Hope this is a help to you, enjoy your marrow!
