Herman,
Read "Raising a Bummer Lamb on a Bottle" at http://www.critterhaven.biz/bummerlamb.htm.
Also search the Blackbelly listserv archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/) and learn everything you need to know about supplementing lambs.
My opinion (sorry if it sounds harsh) is that ewes who don't have enough milk to feed their lambs should be butchered. Blackbelly sheep are hardy and good mothers. To permit inferior animals to breed and pass those inferior genetics to their lambs just weakens the breed in general.
