Caring For Bummer (BOTTLE) Lambs: Vlog 202

Caring for Bummer lambs (or bottle lambs), is a bit more work than I ever thought before...
Ideally, I wouldn't have any... but with a prolific flock, unfortunately, I have to pull some lambs off as mom can't support much more than 2 lambs at a time. I have left a few triplets in the pen with mom, but have had to keep a close eye on them to ensure they haven't gone backwards.
As for the bummer lambs on the milk machine... I've learned a few things.
1. training is easier with more than one lamb
2. they train each other
3. they have to be hungry to get on to machine faster
4. machine needs cleaned at least every other day
5. they need an 'insurance' dosage of clostridial vaccine as they don't get much immunity from mom
I also started the older lambs on creep feed... a prepared pellet (18% protein).
Still no lambs... but they look close!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE!!

    As a 4-her with four ewes bred this year and we just got our first ram your videos are super helpful and educational. I’m learning so much more than I can share with others. Our animals do get pasture in the daytime and are quite spoiled. We have wool sheep and mainly a breed from England. I really love your videos and watching your lambs so happy makes me so excited and impatient for my lambs to be born

    Growing up on an island, my mum and I would take the baby lambs who were rejected or who’s mother had passed and would bottle feed them for the farmer so he could focus on his flock and not need to worry. Then when they were big enough, they would be re-introduced back ☺️ It was cute having them when they were so small but heart breaking when they had to go back

    Merry Christmas to you and yours. Bottle (bummer) babies OMGoodness don't get me started. Our flock is small but the first year we had 50 bummer babies. Kinda happens when you don't know what you are doing. Lambs were supposed to be due late March. But they were coming in January. Freezing cold, not set up for little ones yet. Thanks god we had colostrum and lamb replacement formula. They were so cold we had them in house wrapped in blankets warmed in clothes dryer. But we made it thru and have progressively gotten better over the years. We still hand feed but its much better then the first couple of years.

    Having raised thousands of calves on milk for veal, I can't believe how sweet your milk machine is! We used to give new calves a shot of iron to overcome anemia, which contributes to scours. Of course, it helps with their general performance too. It's so cheap, it might be worth a try on all your bottle babies to help them along. I had another thought when you observed how quickly the lambs took to the creep feed. Combined with the larger birth weights and overall thrift of this group, I expect they will reach market weight more quickly. But I wonder if they have higher potential to finish a little heavier than most groups? You'll have some experience - not to mention the records - to look back at and see if there is some extra $ potential here. Terrific job girl!
