Shepherd’s Choice® Management Tip
Producers should NOT tube lambs that cannot hold their heads upright. In most cases these are hypothermic lambs. They need glucose (IP) and warming first. Once the animal has been revived and can hold its head up, then you can use the various stomach tube devices to deliver nourishment.Precautions

Love it, so much easier than the syringe and tube. No more getting soaking wet with spilled milk. The only thing I suggest is have a spot or notch between the hand holders that you can put the tube, so it is out of the way when milking the ewe. at the moment I use a elastic band, but I still love it and is well worth the money.

Very easy to use. Would help a newbie feel more at ease when tubing a lamb.

Used for the first time this 2019 lambing season. Significant improvement over a clear tube and 5 oz syringe that I have used for 20 years. You can milk directly into the container and easily see the quantity of milk by ounce. The finger mount on the container give nice hand control, and the tube slips into the lamb much easier. Vast improvement! Visit the manufacturer’s website for a 2 minute video that reinforces what you may already know.

This is fabulous. Although I’ve been tubing lambs for over 25 years, it terrifies me. This is easy and secure. It also holds more than the 3 oz syringe! Easy to clean and easy to use. This ensures I get the right stuff down every lamb the right way! I’m ordering more!

Not easy to use by one person. The cup is large, even with the finger "holds" it's cumbersome. Unless it's full of milk it drains slow, not great if the ewe doesn't have much milk. It's difficult to get the last bit of milk into the tube without tipping it sideways. I prefer the syringe style with the tube at the bottom.
