Title: Lamb mineral licks
Post by: Faye.Lear on April 07, 2016, 08:02:49 pm

Another question -

Recommended mineral licks for Orphan Lambs - 8 weeks+
I normally shop at Countrywide.

Thanks again!

Our ewes have the countrywide mineralised salt lick which is tied to the field gate post ..... so I suppose the lambs have free access to that as well.

Our orphans have tubby buckets- the Frobut ones that help orf. They have lots of types though so may be worth giving brinnicombe a ring to see which suits your lambs best.
