Feedlot lambs are young sheep that have already been weaned from their ewes and are on grain to finish growing prior to slaughter. In these lambs, the overall largest cause of death is pneumonia-related illness. However, specific feedlots may have large die-offs at specific times due to another infectious or toxic event; these types of events tend to be rare.
