At almost three months of age your lambs( hopefully ) are eating some hay and / or creep feed. They are almost ready to wean. I like to do it at three months of age. Unfortunately there is no easy way to do it. Some feel it is best to keep watering down their milk replacer until it is mostly water. Others ( like me) just do it cold turkey. Those lambs are going to cry and carry on like it's the end of the world for two or three days. Then it will be over. If you can give them lots of attention so they know they haven't been abandoned. Then look forward to a great relationship with them...bottle babies will always be happy to see you! _______________________________________________ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
