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.

I agree with clark from Iowa, this is NOT a universal holder that will work on all panels, in fact did not work on any of ours. But like clark said in earlier review a few "cable ties" and you can secure it on to panel, which is also what we did. It is sturdy and well made, just wish it was "tweaked" a little more so it would fit "other" panels better.

Be aware this bottle holder will "fit" very few wire panels other than Premier's - most have verticals that are too far apart. Not to worry - a couple of plastic zip ties (5 cents ea.) around the bottom end should fasten the holder securely to virtually any welded wire panel made. Following that minor adaptation, the holders worked very well. Bottle feeding is the most efficient use of expensive milk replacer. The Premier system helps minimize labor requirements as well.
