[QUOTE="HappyShep76, post: 4823140, member: 85194"] Hello all. As our ladies are now only 4 weeks away from lambing I thought I’d ask the question of how you all go about feeding your orphan lambs. Last year we peaked at 101 orphans. All was going well until about 4 weeks into rearing. The lambs then started to randomly blow after being fed, regardless of age. If we were not present to let them down they unfortunately died. We changed nothing in our routine to bring this about, other than a change of milk powder brand. They were all on teat feeders and fed warm milk each feed. The previous season I had 63 orphans and only lost the 2 due to blowing after a feed (both overnight). Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
