Ooh tempted with wilts! Will have to have a think about it.
-
I'm tempted too. For how much longer will they need a heat lamp and what sort of milk are you giving them?
-
Would love to take a few. How much longer would they need to be bottle feed?
-
Sorry - are now sold.
If I have any more (and I'm sure I will) I'll just update this thread.
Edited to add - If I think they need colostrum, they will have been topped up with volostrum and are then on ovilac.
-
OK - 2 more now taking the bottle well are Wilts Horn based woolshedders 1 ram, 1 ewe, both of quads.
Will end up like a wilts horn, but more prolific, a bit smaller and (possibly) without horns.
Also brought in one suftex x woolshedder this am - should be available soon.

Hi Steve
Are you likely to be having any more orphans? I will be ready to buy 3 in about three weeks time.

Hopefully, I will have finished lambing by then, I might get the odd one of a ewe gets mastitis...
