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

Thank you Premier! I totally trust that anything I order from Premier 1 will work. Tubing lambs single handed is tricky, but with this tuber it was a breeze.

Haven’t used it yet as I won’t lamb till March.
I love the idea that the tube won’t keep slipping off the syringe tip. However I expect to wish there was a lid on the container so that I don’t spill colostrum between milking the ewe and getting the lambs organized. I realize a closed lid would prevent colostrum flowing down the tube once the lamb has the tube in.
Also with the diameter of the tube I think some of my ewe’s colostrum will be too thick to flow. In the past I have had to put the plunger back in the syringe and push it into the lamb.

I love these! Super safe and easy. I like making sure lambs get a good dose of colostrum right after they are born so unless they jump up and suck, I milk a few ounces from the ewe and give it to them. This is such a great tuber!

Just not good.

Love it! Handy to use and the amount you can get in them compared to a 60 ml syringe is better. Handles make it easy to hold while inserting tube and gravity feed is better for them.
