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!!

Love watching the breakdancers!😄😄😄
I love to watch the babies and especially when they jump they're so cute. If I could keep one that small I'd get one in a heartbeat.
Merry Christmas
They are just SO stinkin' cute...Merry Christmas Sandi to you and your family. Wishing you good health, much happiness and a great year of farming in 2020. I was raised on a large farm in Michigan....it was the hardest but the best part of my life.
Her tone with the lambs, then the 180 tone shift when she tells the dog to get cracks me up
Lol!!! My new favorite sound, fast forward lamb bawling!!! 🤣 🐑
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
I just love those little lambs! You're such a good surrogate Mommy!
I love seeing the lambs piles. Sleeping and keeping warm
Thank you for showing rhe babies playing and hopping sideways at the end. I live for that!!!
Lambs chewing creep feed. Cutest thing ever. 😍
Just found your channel. Love it. Your passion shows in everything you do. Thank you for making this channel.
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.
Omg!!! Those babies faces are so adorable
Merry Christmas Sandi! The lambs ae such little rascals. Hopping, jumping and getting all frisky. So Cute!
“No one needs me” Makes me laugh then makes me kind of sad! Good group and good mommas and happy healthy babies!!
I love how, in all of the videos with lambs, there's always at least one curled up on top of mama. Merry Christmas, lambs, mamas, and Sandi (and family)!
The babies are so cute leaping and hoping around
I am having severe lambing-cravings after watching that intro 😭 thank you for giving me that little fix of lambing 🙏
I love to see that little lamb jumping everywhere he goes he jumps to go like he’s hopping is so cute your little ones are so cute and mother hands in that box
I smile every time I open my computer to your site!! I Love how much you Love your sheep and your people!!
Re-watched your blog 202, the baby lambs bouncing around & head butting. It's so darn cute ❤️, thank you
I love when the lambs jump around! Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas!
"59! your in the wrong pen" These lambs are getting crafty
Thank you. I am still new at this, I have only been doing this for 3 years, and I am learning the hard way too. I had a pallet of formula that showed up late so befor it came I went to the local store and bought a different brand of formula, I didn't have a chance to transition them. And it was heartbreaking I lost 31 lambs that bloated. Thank you for your videos so much
Merry Christmas Brock Family
I like how the lamb that wanted to go back to the small pen went straight to you for help. (16:00) Merry Christmas Eve!!

Could I please come spend a week with you? I am falling in love with these babies. My granddaughter who is 9 years old asked me last night why do I watch that channel where there's just nothing but sheep. I laughed and I said but look at the babies. And all of a sudden the baby started bouncing around in the pen And she fell in love. Thank you for another awesome video take care and God-bless merry Christmas and the happiest of new years Deb

Sandy, do your sheep stay in the barn all year long , or is it just during The lambing?
Another great video. The lambs jumping around gives me the chuckles and brightens my day. Thank you Sandi
Season greetings Sandi, lost my mother goat and 1 kid, cause i did not worm in time, but i learn from you to just stick with it, for beginners like me i will learn as i go along

Awesome video Sandi. I my wife and I really enjoy watching those spunky babies
A very Merry Christmas to you and Mark.I watch every video of ya'lls and really enjoy each one.Stay warm and hope Christmas is nice and peaceful.
Merry Christmas Eve to you and all you adorable little lambs!!!!!
It's soooooo complicated at every step of the way, from breeding to delivery to weaning ,it's a 24hr a day job,not to mention the dog he is adorable with the sheep. You are so involved with their care which is heart warming, wishing you all the best in the coming year,you deserve it, merry Xmas:)
I’m a new subscriber:) I love your vids!
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!
Merry Christmas Sandi to U & Family thanks so much more sharing
Once again you are AMAZING Sandi!! I hope you have a lovely Christmas and an amazing New Year! Love from Melbourne, Australia xo
Those babies are so cute.
Happy Christmas Eve to you, your family and all the little lambs ❤️

That milk machine is so cool....I could have used that with my twins....lol...j/k kind of.
Sandi brock , Have a very Merry Christmas i love all the lambs so sweet !!!
Yes! That ANTITOXIN is a real lamb/kid saver. You can re-administer it again if you need to . Good vet, I need to order mine online, my won't stock it.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.. I just want to tell you that i am new to your channel and that i love your vlogs on all your babies. You have so much compassion for what you do and it makes my heart so happy to watch all your sweet babies.. Please keep sharing it truly brings light to my days ❤ Lots of love to all of you from the USA
Have used C. Perfringins type c & d in the past. Works great in both bottle babies and as a booster if they had immunization through colostrum.
Merry Christmas Sandi. Thanks for all the marvellous Videos this year. ❤️👍👋🎅
Merry Christmas Eve! Your lambs bring such joy!! All that hard work is amazing!
18:04 I Love it when they jump around and kick 😂 thats just the cutest to me. No matter how poopy my day has been, seeing that always make me giggle a little 💜
The last minute of jumps from those little ones made my day ❤️❤️ I wish there is a live cam for us to watch those little ones ...
Merry Christmas to you all have a good one and thanks for sharing your vlogs with us really enjoy watching them and seeing all these baby lambs so cute
I could watch a full video of the babies jumping around playing. So cute. Merry Christmas from Florida!
There gorgeous the lot of them I could watch back to back vlogs and never get sick of seein all the ewes and lambs each day :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!-!🎅🎅🎅⛄⛄⛄🤶🤶🤶🤶🎄🎄🎄 LOVE THE SHOW AND THE BABIES
The hover mothers! LOL. Merry Christmas to you and those you love. Was at mass tonight singing away in the manger, I’m sure they wrote the words wrong, the cattle weren’t lowing, the lambies were baa-ing! I had to giggle.
The bio polar dog training is funny. I do it all the time. You talking baby talk to the new borns, the a deep "out" and the finger to get the dog out. Then going back to baby talk. Mine is talking happily and "hush" in a load voice to stop the fit in the crate, then back to talking.
Like what you do
Thank you so much for your vidios they bring so much joy to my Heart,Very Merry Christmas.
