I have had to feed 3 lambs this year that had no colostrum from their mothers. I use 4 tablespoons of calf colostrum replacer powder added to 1/2 cup of already prepared sheep replacer milk. I try and get a total of 4 or more ounces down within the first 12 -16 hours. I do it with a small 3cc seringe. A little at a time. This is time consuming easpecially during the night ( I try every 2 hours). The lambs are growing and doing fine on bottles now. It says not to heat this mix. I therefore mix it at smaller amounts at first. 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup so as to keep it warm. Hope this helps. Nancy
