4 week orphan lamb precautions
« on: March 24, 2016, 12:28:08 pm »
Hi guys, i've got two 4 week old Wiltshire Horn ram lambs that iv'e had since they were two days old. They're now on two bottles of 400ml a day, they have a hay rack filled with hay and get about 2ibs of creep between them a day. They both have quite round bellies, but are feeding well and frolicking around when they come for a walk with the dogs. They have a pen outside their shed but it's just dry soil with hay sprinkled about. Is there any need for concern? Or am i just worrying too much haha? Replies will be highly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Keelan

Sounds like they are almost ready to wean

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.
