Westconsin | We've used multiple brands over the years for bottle lambs, but the NUMBER ONE thing you need to be sure of is that there is no copper in the milk replacer, as it is toxic to sheep. Some replacers for calves will have copper in them, so be sure to read the tag.
How old are the lambs? Are they orphaned? Why are you feeding them replacer?
We only bottle feed lambs if they're orphaned or cannot be grafted on to a new mother who lambed out a single. We use glass soda bottles and feed 4-5 times throughout the day and decrease down to a morning and night feeding until they're on creep feed.
