I wrote an article about raising bummer lambs on a bottle and it
includes a formula for newborns. Download it at
http://critterhaven.biz/info/articles/bummer_lamb.htm
But be aware that it is absolutely critical that the newborn have
sheep colostrum. Substituting cow colostrum reduces the chances of
the lamb's survival. You can collect colostrum from a lactating ewe
within 24-36 hours after birth and freeze it in ice cube trays to
ensure that you have an emergency source on hand.

can anyone recommend some type of formula that has the necessary
nutrients that will be sufficient to give a newborn what it needs to
survive the first 24 hours.
