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.

Wonderful fits on the wire panels. Easy to adjust to the lambs height and they stay put during feeding!

These make life so much easier! You set it and forget it. It's nice when you have to feed more than 2 kids at a time. We just attach it to the cattle panel and call it done. Would most definitely purchase it again!

It's impossible to find sheep friendly items locally, everything is designed for cattle. After getting a third bottle baby on short notice, I didn't take the time to read all the reviews before I purchased these, so I didn't realize they won't fit any normal stock/thrifty/hog panel. They are designed for premier panels, which I don't have. I used zip ties, as an older review suggested and I'm hoping they will work. They are nice and sturdy, shouldn't bend or fall apart and I like that they are bright blue.

What a great way to feed multiple lambs with less time... These are a must have..

Have nine bottle kids and with these racks the feeding is complete in 10-12 minutes. Truly worth every penny. They are well made, easy to hang, and as the kid is growing, you just move the rack up. I highly recommend this bottle rack.
