Building a Homemade LAMB FEEDER. Forget the bottles! 

These parts all available at www.sheepschoolshop.com Thanks for your support 👍

Your cup also solved the problem of the greedier lambs knocking the other lambs off the teat. I used to put warm milk into a pail inside a bigger bucket with a lid to keep any contaminants out, that I drilled holes in to take the feed tubes situated outside the pen and fed to a teat board attached to the pen. Since the lamb replacer contains cereal grains, I found that keeping the milk warm, ( I mixed it warm and allowed it to cool down whilst in use) caused it to ferment. Your system is just the job to prevent that. The feed companies want you to feed warm to use more product but my lambs fed little and often regardless of temperature once they knew what to do. and it took 10 kg of replacer to rear a good lamb on 5 weeks weaning onto creep. Being an ex nurse I was quite fussy about cleaning the pipes frequently. I like the man way to mix, I used a big hand whisk and of course it mixes easier warm. Impressed with you inventiveness. We call them Mollie lambs here in Wales and yes they never were profitable but we felt obliged to rear them well. I think you have a super set up in your shed. I am thinking a slick version of your invention could be a marketing possibility, especially for colder climes.

👍👍😁. You are so inventive! I am hooked on your videos.

As always a very knowledgable video.keep up the good work and keep spreading the sheep gospel😊

Morning from Montreal .. absolutely another fabulous beautiful upload and I really appreciate and enjoy watching your super Awesome content vloggs adventure countryside documentary .. keep up a great work .. Merci

Genius! Adding a some sheet insulation to the inside of a bigger box might save a little power. For the next iteration.... Great job.

You are really good at making things to help you with your farm.

Great job. Thanks for sharing. I will have to make one.the teenage aren't as kinn as they used to be for the pets.

Doing great job ya love ya sheep.and lambs

Great job!

Wil be making one for calves thanks,great work

Hi I thought if it would be good idea that you would insulate plywood box with polystyrene from inside to prevent heat loss,box would be bigger of the thickness of polystyrene and everything would fit inside as you have.I thank to algorytm that show me your channel😁I watch many farmers channels I'm farmer myself and I learned a lot from you guys👍good luck with lambing.

Very good 👍

Great job and interesting to see someone else's take on a homemade feeder. I made up something along the same lines last year. The main difference is that I mix the replacer warm every morning and evening and drop a bucket of it into a bigger bucket (that's full of water being kept warm by a similar heater to yours) They feed ad lib at full temp for about 10 days and then I gradually reduce the temp. I'm only small time, but it fed 9 lambs last year .

Hi David, I love your channel. Thanks for sharing . What brand milk replacer do you use?

Great video as usual! Excellent job, skills, and saving . Isn't cheaper to utilize extra colostrum/ milk or even having few milking sheeps/ goats compared to buying milk powder/ formula? Thanks again and keep up the good work and school lessons

Love the lamb feeder

Brilliant video would you not pop a lid with a hole in the lid with the cold mix - well done great job .good luck with the lambing 👍👍

Where you get teat with holders . Never seen them before. Good idea and good videos. Thanks

You star!

Ha am the first to text great video as always good man 👌

Hi David, im new to your channel and find you very interesting and as you say every day is a learning day with sheep , just wondering what breed are you working with , i saw your hoggett rams in recent vlog , they dont look like texel , anyway keep the videos coming

Thanks for sharing David. I just did a search to see if I could find those NEW nipples with the cup here in the U.S. but no luck. Can you share the supplier there in the UK? Thanks.

Great video, where did you get the teats with the cups?

Hello, Just discover your channel! I feed plenty of pet lambs every year and was wondering, where do you get the cups for the grey lamb teat fixtures please, as I've never seen them! I have the same problem with lambs chewing and destroying the teats as they get older. Many thanks.

What would be the breakdown of costs for rearing a pet lamb?

Where did you get the t¡ts

Hey does the milk go thick in the tubes? Iv got something very similar that I made but the milk replacer seems to go thick over night or when the lambs don’t use it for long periods of time. Thanks

What are those external teats that you're using? manufacterer? Very cool

Hi David, Do you ever have any problems with newborn lambs that get yellow score in the first day or so?

Wered ya get them new teet holders for the outside. Have been looking for them last few years

Hi David quick question where did you get the teat guards. I'm currently making a heat box same as you have. Thanks

Is it impossible to milk a U that has lost her lamb or something to replace the milk replacer?

Would the one coil do the three or do you need separate 🤔

Hello, where did you get the screw on teat guards from. Regards. Michael.

Could you not put a y in the line so you can use one element and 2 nipples?
