    At present I can't find a decent lamb milk feeder for lambs. I don't want an automatic milk feeder as the lambs will be out in the field in the near future.

    I have seen JFC calf milk feeders and was wondering whether I could change the teats to suit lambs?

    I want one that can hang on a gate, not the ones that are bucket shaped.
    Lambs are now 3 weeks old now!.

    How many lambs will you be feeding?

    Would this help? Feeds 10, that may not be enough? No info on price though.

    EDIT : It seems they only sell to trade. Sorry. :(

    It seems okey but I would prefer something like the JFC milk feeders for calves as there is a bit more room for each lamb to drink when they get bigger!

    So far 6 lambs on artifical milk powder and near the end of lambing.

    A milk feeder with 5-10 teats would be grand.

    Hi,

    The JFC 10 Teat Calf Feeders can also be fitted with lamb teats on request.
