We have been very lucky to have been given five beautiful Jacob lambs. All their mothers had a least triplets; by giving us one of them, the remaining lambs will get more milk. At first, some of our 'orphans' were a bit reluctant to take the bottle and needed encouragement. Now they are all guzzling it away and are already bouncing around the pen. At the moment, we are still bottle feeding them, but in a week or so, we will try them on the 'shepherdess' - an electronic feeder which gives them access to milk whenever they like.
