Caring For Bummer (BOTTLE) Lambs: Vlog 202

Caring for Bummer lambs (or bottle lambs), is a bit more work than I ever thought before...
Ideally, I wouldn't have any... but with a prolific flock, unfortunately, I have to pull some lambs off as mom can't support much more than 2 lambs at a time. I have left a few triplets in the pen with mom, but have had to keep a close eye on them to ensure they haven't gone backwards.
As for the bummer lambs on the milk machine... I've learned a few things.
1. training is easier with more than one lamb
2. they train each other
3. they have to be hungry to get on to machine faster
4. machine needs cleaned at least every other day
5. they need an 'insurance' dosage of clostridial vaccine as they don't get much immunity from mom
I also started the older lambs on creep feed... a prepared pellet (18% protein).
Still no lambs... but they look close!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE!!

Growing up on an island, my mum and I would take the baby lambs who were rejected or who’s mother had passed and would bottle feed them for the farmer so he could focus on his flock and not need to worry. Then when they were big enough, they would be re-introduced back ☺️ It was cute having them when they were so small but heart breaking when they had to go back

I love to watch the babies and especially when they jump they're so cute. If I could keep one that small I'd get one in a heartbeat.

As a 4-her with four ewes bred this year and we just got our first ram your videos are super helpful and educational. I’m learning so much more than I can share with others. Our animals do get pasture in the daytime and are quite spoiled. We have wool sheep and mainly a breed from England. I really love your videos and watching your lambs so happy makes me so excited and impatient for my lambs to be born

Thank you. I am still new at this, I have only been doing this for 3 years, and I am learning the hard way too. I had a pallet of formula that showed up late so befor it came I went to the local store and bought a different brand of formula, I didn't have a chance to transition them. And it was heartbreaking I lost 31 lambs that bloated. Thank you for your videos so much

Merry Christmas to you and yours. Bottle (bummer) babies OMGoodness don't get me started. Our flock is small but the first year we had 50 bummer babies. Kinda happens when you don't know what you are doing. Lambs were supposed to be due late March. But they were coming in January. Freezing cold, not set up for little ones yet. Thanks god we had colostrum and lamb replacement formula. They were so cold we had them in house wrapped in blankets warmed in clothes dryer. But we made it thru and have progressively gotten better over the years. We still hand feed but its much better then the first couple of years.

Could I please come spend a week with you? I am falling in love with these babies. My granddaughter who is 9 years old asked me last night why do I watch that channel where there's just nothing but sheep. I laughed and I said but look at the babies. And all of a sudden the baby started bouncing around in the pen And she fell in love. Thank you for another awesome video take care and God-bless merry Christmas and the happiest of new years Deb

Sandy, do your sheep stay in the barn all year long , or is it just during The lambing?

@melvinstein7739 4 жыл бұрын

Having raised thousands of calves on milk for veal, I can't believe how sweet your milk machine is! We used to give new calves a shot of iron to overcome anemia, which contributes to scours. Of course, it helps with their general performance too. It's so cheap, it might be worth a try on all your bottle babies to help them along. I had another thought when you observed how quickly the lambs took to the creep feed. Combined with the larger birth weights and overall thrift of this group, I expect they will reach market weight more quickly. But I wonder if they have higher potential to finish a little heavier than most groups? You'll have some experience - not to mention the records - to look back at and see if there is some extra $ potential here. Terrific job girl!

Idk why I cant stop watching your videos! Idk why it never gets old! I love the sheep and farming. I'm sure I'll never have a farm or sheep, but I just love watching and learning so much! I love how curious they all are. The babies are so precious! The Moms and Dads are too ! It's crazy the wool isn't in high demand. I'd love to have it! Have you ever seen the old Irishman grow flax seed and then the process of turning it into string? Now that is smthg I can actually try soon. We are moving to just 10 acres. Eventually I'm going to find a property with more acreage but I don't know what Il do with it yet. I love the animals but so much can go wrong and I know NOTHINGand that wouldn't be fair to the animals :( I do love what you do and your videos.

The bio polar dog training is funny. I do it all the time. You talking baby talk to the new borns, the a deep "out" and the finger to get the dog out. Then going back to baby talk. Mine is talking happily and "hush" in a load voice to stop the fit in the crate, then back to talking.
