[QUOTE="Longlowdog, post: 4713030, member: 395"] I give my sooky pen lambs a quality creep blend mixed with chopped dried grass from virtually day one. When lambing is prolonged the first in the pen may stay in considerably longer than 5 weeks. I don't loose them to gut problems and they are indistinguishable or better than their peers at 3 months. I use Downland ewe's milk derived powder. Ad-lib till the youngest is five weeks then gradually cut down and served cold till the lambs are clearly eating an appreciable amount of dry food and a run out on to grass and then they get chucked out onto good grass. All pets get their vac's, Bacox and wormer at the same time as their peers regardless of how long they have been inside [/QUOTE]
