Lambing and Kidding Supplies
 
Successful lambing & kidding starts now!
Preparation leads to success
 
It pays to plan ahead. During lambing season we strive to keep our lambing barn well-stocked. Being caught off-guard adds stress to both ewes and you.

Items we keep in the lambing barn:
Worried about orphans? If we can get the lamb through the first 24 hours, its chance of survival is greatly increased. When you have a large flock and many orphans, consider an auto-feeding milk machine.

The Shepherd’s Choice™
Milk Replacer

Match Momma’s Milk!

Made with skim milk and acidified with CitriStim®, The Shepherd’s Choice™ instant milk replacer provides everything lambs and goat kids need for optimal immunity and health.

Ewe’s milk is naturally high in casein—the same protein found in skim milk powder. Caseins are slowly absorbed after ingestion, whereas whey protein is quickly absorbed. That’s why cheaper, whey-based milk formulas often result in bloating and digestion problems.

It doesn’t pay to skimp on quality. Try Lamb & Kid Milk with your flock and see the difference!

Feed the right mix
Trace minerals for sheep and goats. Formulated by Premier’s own small ruminant nutritionist, Dr. Dan Morrical, PhD.
Gold Formula Mineral Premixes contain high levels of selenium, zinc, iodine and other essential trace minerals for optimum flock health. Prevention of deficiencies now means fewer animals requiring treatment later on.

By offering trace minerals free choice (mixed with salt), or in a ration mixed with feed, shepherds can make up for the lack of naturally occurring mineral. Add Vitamin A/D/E Premix to salt or the animals’ feed to supplement diets that lack fresh forage.

Lamb Finisher Trace Mineral Premix
 
I have been looking for a product to use that met the recommendations of Dr. Morrical after watching the video of his presentation at Premier 1 Sheep Field Day. I ordered this product and the sheep mineral as soon as I was aware that they were available. This fills the void I had with other premixes.

Baby Lamb Strength
 
Been using this product for 9 years. Won’t lamb without it. Every lamb that is born gets a dose after 2-4 hrs of birth or if I have seen that they have nursed. The crude fat in it makes it a 100 times better than Nutri-Drench. I have recommended it to everyone that I know that has sheep.
