[blackbelly] bottle-feeding

[Rick Krach]

I've been bottle feeding a Barbado lamb for almost a week now, and she seems 
to be happy. When I take her outside to play with the dog, she is not yet 
trying to eat any grass, but is licking the dirt. I wonder if this is 
because of a mineral deficiency in the "lamb-milk replacer" I've been using 
called Manna Pro, a product of Calf-Manna company.  She started at 4 and 1/2 
pounds and has gained almost 2 pounds in 6 days.  I had the suggestion to 
add some regular goat's milk to the formula.
Anybody know?
