I know that there have been alot of new people join the list and this is just a note to them: When you bottle feed lambs make sure you use just warm milk not to hot. The extra warm milk gives babies scours. I sometimes forget this myself thinking of momma's milk being so warm . Also something to have on hand is a small tube of triple antibiotic eye ointment. Babies always seem to get millk in their eyes when hitting the nipple which gives them a watery eye & sagging lid. This little tube usually cost about 7 or 8 bucks when it doesn't contain cortisone. Also after about a week put out mineral for them They love it! Good luck with your babies and enjoy them! You will forever be hooked on sheep! Nancy
