goats. Try premier sheep supply.

Hi we raise several breeds including horned blackbellies. We call it
personality. And I feel that it is hereditary. We cull any ram who shows
tendency to be a fighter, hit on gates etc. We have found this a good indicator
of how they will be when they get older. We only breed the most docile
For newborns they need colostrum for at least the first 24 hours. I use
a multi species available at the local farm storm. It is by Manna Pro
and is in a green pouch. I mix 1 scoop with 4 oz of warm water. I feed
if they will eat every two hours. But depending on size try to get at
least 6 0z
I always supplement. I have used MLS tubs which are mollasess based
with great vitamins mineral kinda high at 38 for 60 lbs but it takes
awhile to use up if your sheep are eating good quality hay etc. Or Kent
brand loose mineral. And I use a protein block from Ragland Mills in
Neosho MO. A
As cecil says you have a bottle lamb for sure. I have raised quite a few. I
would say he get stronger and drink more. I am a worry wart and feed about
every 2 hours then increase to 3 and then to 4 etc as he gets stronger and
sucks harder. I even start with a pet nurser bottle 2 oz with a
Boy sorry to hear that about your babies! To bad you can't hold them
responsible for your loss. I have used both land o lakes and merrick.
But I keep going with Kent. It seems to mix better and I never have a
lamb scour on it as long as I put about 2 or 3 ounces of extra water
with it at first
My guess is hat she won't ever take them. . You could keep her in
a stantch and see if that helps any but my guess is she will only but
them when they are out and they don't understand not to come back. I
think you now have twin bottle babies. But that is just my opinion.

It could also have pneumonia. I had a girl have triplets had to bring
in 2 they were so small. Both did fine for the first 36 hours eating
acting great. Then I left and came back 5 hours later the small one had
snot in the nose and was going cold fast. I couldn't save her. She
didn't have any
my girls do it frequently trying to figure out who is the dominate ewe
of the flock. Also they get frisky before it storms alot of the time.
Weather changes really stir them up if its drastic. Like today its 65
here in Missouri and by wednesday the high is only going to be 27.
Quite a change
I don't know If my message went through last night but here goes again.
We have about 40 ewes /ewe lambs we feed pellets to from time to time.
We dump a bag of pellets in feeders and they gobble them up like candy.
They are supplimented with either alfalfa orchard grass hay about 2
bales a day
We have used the pellets here in MIssouri. They have been running
anywarhere from $10 to 12.50 a bag. They are guarenteed to have 17%
protein. The sheep love them and they seem to stay with them. And
there is no mess to clean up. We also feed hay alflafa /orchard mix but
are haveing to use
