Lambing is either just starting or not due to start for a couple of weeks down here and everyone has loads of orphans already

Spoke to the Market but I'd need to buy through the sales although I'm not really keen on doing that when foster lambs are so weak and open to any disease going, I have ads in the ad trader etc jus not getting ant replys and thought someone would be able to help on here
