[Blackbelly] bottle lambs
I have successfully raised bottle lambs on Dumor for years and last year raised 6 lambs, five in the spring and 1 last fall because she became orphaned. I mix the milk according the instructions and for me human baby bottles work better. I adjust the nipple flow depending on the age of the lambs. I feed my lambs 6 times a day starting at 6 am and finishing up around 10:30 - 11 pm and the most they get at one feeding is a 10 oz bottle. Of course a newborn won't get that much.I don't feed my lambs during the night because even when I've had lambs in the house, the lambs sleep all night but they are ready for their first bottle!! My oldest bottle baby will be 7 this July and he's very healthy...in fact, he did not get colostrum when he was born and he's a very healthy wether and leader of my sheep.

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!

Re: [blackbelly] Bottle Lambs
Nancy, I have a set of twins, the mom died. They were born 11/2/06. What is the grain mix you are feeding them?

I have my first set of bottle lambs for this fall. They were born on October 13th (Friday!) They spent their first week with mom. But they were small and it turned very wet cold. They were not doing well with this first time mom so I brought both in. They are Jack Jill. Sired by Wingnut they are both yellow bellies from a Yellow belly mom. Jill is still small but eats well. They are eating a grain mix and nibbling at hay. They are being raised indoors and love laying on their heating pad still to rest. If anyone is interested please email for photos etc. Thanks Nancy - www.freewebs.com/mossyspringsranch - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blackbelly@lists.blackbellysheep.info Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2006 6:07 PM Subject: blackbelly Digest, Vol 2, Issue 200 Send blackbelly mailing list submissions to blackbelly@lists.blackbellysheep.info To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.blackbellysheep.info/listinfo.cgi/blackbelly-blackbellysheep.info or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of blackbelly digest...
