Sell / give away if you don't have a ewe.Just picked up a dead ewe and not sure what to do with her lambs!
3 weeks old would you let them fend for themselves, bring them in and try and persuade them that milk from a bottle is a good idea, sell them?
They will just waste away to nothing and die if you leave them.Probably last only 3-4 days if only 3 weeks old.Only option is to catch them and bring them inside.Some breeds are really difficult to learn to bottle feed aswell if they have just been used to their mothers teat.As said,some appetising hard feed and water might help save them.Just picked up a dead ewe and not sure what to do with her lambs!

Had a ewe today that desided to live it's life's ambition and snuff it, had a three week old lamb on her which took some bloody catching on the moor the little . Anyway stuck it in the foster pen and it went stright to the creep so there's a Chance and the others will show her where the milk bar is
When a ewe dies here we build a pen round her with five or six sheep hurdles leaving a twelve inch gap in it, If you come back in a half hour the lambs are usually lying with her. Drive up fast (works best with a jeep/quad) to the gap and you have the lambs
