[Blackbelly] Bottle lambs

2010-03-25 Thread GARLAND STAMPER
Cecil

Did you whether your bottle rams??  If so, how old??  The playpen sounds 
like a good idea.

I just got a call from a gal that bought two of our young ewes.  She raised 
a bottle baby before so she wants the little rejected guy.  Whew!  He should 
have a great life with her family on a large hay farm!

[Blackbelly] wooden milk bar pattern?

2010-03-25 Thread Carol Elkins
I have been asked if  there is a pattern or even a picture available 
of a feeder to hold bummer lambs' bottles.  The gentleman doesn't 
want to build one of the common lamb milk bars using a bucket and 
teats. He wants to build something out of wood. I remember seeing 
such a thing many years ago. It was basically a 2 x 6 with suitably 
sized holes to hold a series of baby bottles at a correct angle for 
nursing. The trick would be the design of what holds the bottle. Do 
any of you have any experience or knowledge of such a contraption? 
I'd like to be able to help him. He's trying to locate a pattern so 
that his son can build the feeder.


Thanks,

Carol
