What milk replacer do you use?
Also, I assume you get colostrum from some of your own ewes. Do you milk a little out of each one that births to save (freeze)? How much do you take? Do you worry that if you take too much, that ewe's own lambs won't have enough?
Thanks, Stephanie Parrish Frederick, MD
I tube feed any lamb within the first hour that seems to be cold or a little
weak. It is amazing how they seem to "inflate" when you put 3 oz of warm
milk replacer in them. I always mix colustrum with it too...
