One thing I learned the hard way is: don't try to get away with stuffing a lamb's belly with as much milk as they can drink and think you can then do less feedings per day. I learned this from a goat breeder. Her bottle babies always had scours.
Feeding them like that, and they will end up with scours, and you'll waste time treating it with probiotics, Corid, Albion, all sorts of stuff, rather than just feeding them properly. Lots of small feedings and you should probably get up in the middle of the night and feed as well, at least till they start to put on some weight. -Michael, Perino Ranch Blackbellies.
