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

Make sure to order a catheter feeding tube along with this to replace the existing tube! The tip of the tube is very large and hard. My lamb would gag and struggle to swallow this tube end which scared me at first. I felt like I was getting it into her windpipe, but it just turns out that the end was impossibly big for her to swallow down. I always ended up just having to force it a bit as she gaged. I'm certain it hurt her throat quite a bit in the 2 days I needed to tube her. I will be buying a catheter to replace the the tube on this for future lamb feeding emergencies. However, I liked the cup size and the design makes the whole process fairly easy to do by yourself.

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.
