NEW LAMBS
Not everything is clover once lambs are born. Lambs are susceptible to diseases and conditions as diverse as constipation and scours (diarrhea), pneumonia, acidosis, enterotoxemia, tetanus, polio, and white muscle disease. Learn all you can about these problems before your lambs arrive; the resources in our Appendix will point the way. Lambs are delicate, wee creatures and may need your help to survive.
Feeding Help
Weak lambs may need to be tube fed until they’re strong enough to stand and suckle. Passing a feeding tube is a daunting task to most first-time shepherds. Ask your vet or a sheep-savvy friend to show you how in advance.
Orphan and rejected lambs as well as weak lambs with a suckle reflex can be bottle fed. Every shepherd should keep sheep’s milk replacer and feeding bottles on hand. Because newborn lambs must ingest their mother’s colostrum—first milk liberally laced with antibodies and produced by the ewe—for roughly twenty-four hours, hand milking is another skill best learned in advance.
