The milk may add a bit more fat to their diet, so you may get a bit more marbling or subcutaneous fat possibly. Bit more protein too so will grow a bit quicker dependant on how much they are drinking. All my homekill lambs have been feeding for at least a year off the ewes since they all run together. Doesn't seem much difference to weaned lambs I've done for the odd mate ( ok all my mates are odd ). Although moos are usually done a bit older than lambs.
