Bottle Rack
Simple rack that enables new lambs and goat kids to self-feed from our Lamb ‘N’ Kid Bottle.
Rack attaches to Premier designed wire panels and holds bottle in place for feeding.
Allows the shepherd to simply drop a bottle into the holder and move on with chores while the orphan feeds. Use multiple bottles and racks if feeding multiple orphans.

How to Use
- Before attaching your bottle rack, make sure the vertical rods of the panel are facing the inside of the pen, otherwise the bottle holder is difficult to hang on the panel.
- Attach the fixed hooks (on the outside of the pen) at the desired feeding height (about teat height on a ewe).
- Connect the hinged hooks two rods above where the fixed hooks are hanging.
- Place bottle, teat end down, into the bottle holder.

Easy to use, easy to store, can’t imagine that they will ever wear out. “Spee-Dee” delivery right to garage door.

Works great, especially when feeding multiples.

Cuts chore time and lambs can get milk 24/7 or whenever they want if you keep the bottle filled.

The bottles sold by Premier do not fit these racks. There is 1/2" space between to the end of bottle and rack and therefore there is a lot of movement and mess when lambs are on them. If you purchase these I recommend you secure the bottles with rubber bands.

It is well made. Very sturdy. We use a different style of lamb jug and bottle, so we have not got it to work properly for us.
