Ewe and doe milk differ from cow's milk in fat and protein, which is why a lamb formula exists rather than everybody just using calf replacer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a 20kg bag. That is a farm quantity: if you are rearing one poddy lamb for a season, you will not get through it, and an opened bag stored through a humid summer will not stay good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColostrum first.\u003c\/strong\u003e A newborn lamb or kid needs colostrum within the first hours of life. Milk replacer does not substitute for it, and a lamb that has missed colostrum is at real risk regardless of what you feed afterwards — talk to a vet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMixing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMixing rate, water temperature and feeding frequency are on the bag.
