All Sheep and Lamb Discussion / Stubborn bottle babies
« on: May 11, 2016, 11:53:51 am »
Just wondering what tricks you have tried to get stubborn lambs to suck. You know the ones that are starving to death but won't take a little help or just getting one started on a bottle.
Personally I tend to push my finger up between the bottom jaw bones at back of mouth after inserting rubber nipple.
The tail tickle trick will work on a lot of them. What type of nipples do you prefer? I like the udderly EZ to get them to start and then the black rubber once true bummers so bottle will drain fast with minimal air intake. Cut X a little bigger.

All Sheep and Lamb Discussion / Sex Ratios
« on: April 26, 2016, 06:17:18 am »
You hear the usual stories about high percentages one way or another of rams and ewes born. We started with an 80% ram lamb crop in January but I now have one ewe left to lamb and the twins born yesterday were tagged 6060 orange and 6060 green as was one of each. Can't get any closer to 50/50 than that.
