Description

While we are no longer carrying the Merrick’s Lamb Milk Replacer, we feel that our switch to Pipestone’s Shepherd’s Choice Milk Replacer for lambs and kids is an excellent choice!  This is a custom formula developed by Pipestone’s staff.  Feed as directed on the label.

Mixing and Feeding Directions For Lambs and Kids
MIXING DIRECTIONS: Dry Powder should be weighed to determine recommended amount. Cup in each bag holds approximately 4 oz. dry weight.
LAMBS: Mix 1 level measure (4oz)of dry powder with 1 pints of warm water (120 degree F)
KIDS: Mix 1 level measure (4oz) of dry powder with 1 1/2 pints of warm water (110-120 degrees F)
Stir until product is in solution. When feeding free choice with an automatic feed system, such as a baby lamb or kid feeder, feed at 40 degrees F to prevent over consumption.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS: Hand feeding- feed amount they will readily consume 6 down to 4 times a day. Reducing number of times as they get older. Don’t under feed.

TIPS ON FEEDING BABY LAMB AND KIDS Provide all newborns with colostrum milk during the first 6 hours of life to provide concentrated nutrients and passive immunity to disease. Follow mix and feed instructions carefully.
Feed regularly and in sufficient quantity. Wash bottle thoroughly after reach use. Provide creep feed free choice when lambs and kids reach one week of age; keep fresh daily. Provide good quality roughage free choice when lambs and kids reach one week of age. Provide fresh water at all times. Keep lambs and kids in well-ventilated, draft free area.
