Re: [Blackbelly] milk temperature

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Thank you for the info Nancy.  The vet said the lambs temp was just over 103 so 
I guess that is the temp the ewe's milk would be too. Interesting since we 
might be inclined to think of it as a cup of coffee.  Maybe babies bottles are 
too warm since breast feeding would be Mom's body temp.

I know that there have been alot of new people join the list and this is 
just a note to them: When you bottle feed lambs make sure you use just warm 
milk not to hot. The extra warm milk gives babies scours. I sometimes forget 
this myself thinking of momma's milk being so warm . Also something to have 
on hand is a small tube of triple antibiotic eye ointment. Babies always 
seem to get millk in their eyes when hitting the nipple which gives them a 
watery eye & sagging lid. This little tube usually cost about 7 or 8 bucks 
when it doesn't contain cortisone. Also after about a week put out mineral 
for them   They love it!    Good luck with your babies and enjoy them! You 
will forever be hooked on sheep! Nancy
