We have twin ram lambs that were born 11 days ago. One is smaller and hunched over and not as active. The ewe has a smaller udder and a smaller build so I’m thinking that the small one isn’t getting
enough nutrition. So I’m assuming we need to intervene and bottle
feed?
1. If so, how often does one do that? Could we get by feeding him one or two bottles a day? Anymore and I think we may
sell him.
2. If we do need to feed him, can we give him raw cows
milk? We only have a few more ewes left to lamb and I’m hoping we won’t have any other bottle lambs, so I would hate to buy a big bag of milk replacer. Unless it will keep multiple years.
Thanks guys!
