I don't have a lot of experience with this, but at 6 weeks those lambs should have been eating well enough to sustain themselves even if the mother was producing no milk at all. I had a set of twins born on 6/6, their mother died on 7/4 and they were eating well enough at that time to sustain themselves and continue growing (although not as fast) with no milk supplementation from me. Of course, they had good grass at that time and they followed what the other sheep were doing as far as grazing and eating grain.
You don't have any lantana in your pasture, do you? Staggering, weak hindquarters, scours are also signs of lantana poisioning. Good luck . . . perhaps others would have some more concrete advice . . . =============================================== This message is from the Blackbelly Sheep mailing list (http://www.awrittenword.com/listserv/index.html).
