Taking them to market.I've ended up with 10 pet lambs this time. I don't want to be tied to the yard for the next few months feeding 3 times a day and washing bottles continually. What do people find is the best system for this sort of number. Thanks in advance.

There's an "expert" on livestock price tracker thread explaining how to do it properly.Mole valley sell a feeder tube kit that you can effectively make your own shepherdess with its like £25-30 odd quid

I don’t even take the lid offIf my automatic lamb feeder, or the electric, ever goes off, I just drop the pipes from the teats mounted on a hurdle into a bucket of cold milk and leave them to it. If you use a lick bucket with a lid, you can drill a hole in a lid to cover it.
There’s no reason why you couldn’t do the same to rear a batch of lambs, just by mixing 24 hours worth of milk at a time. It doesn’t need warming once they’re used to suckling a teat.
If I can figure this out you and @neilo are now my most favourite people in the whole wide world! If one more person tells me how cute pet lambs are I am going to be done for murder so you might be doing a double service here!
