Got them in out of feild and into a pen in shed. Bigger one drank no bother, Smallest weakest one fought against me all the way. Debating one 2 options,
1. Pull them off the ewe and give access to course feed and keep working with the bottle. Cash ewe in asap.
2. Leave in pen with ewe and...
Just spotted a pair of lambs both empty and thin. Think milk has dried up on ewe despite getting a lot of hard feed.
Nearly a month old and no foster ewe available, will it be possible to get them.on to a bottle or feeder?
