Ewe with 4 teats

jd06 · 28-12-2019 8:24am #1

Hi I have a pedigree ewe with 4 teats only problem is that the 2 high teats have no milk and the low teats have the milk
But naturally enough the lambs keep going for the high teats
Any ideas what to do, they are mad for sucking

Or 4 lambs

I’ve a bull with 4 nipples on his nut sack- no milk though.

Have you not seen the cow/ewe with the bra trick before?
You cover the blank tits & allow access to the milky ones.

Just put them onto the lower teats. If they are too full of milk and the lambs can't latch on, milk the teats out and bottle feed the lambs with it then put them onto the teats in a few hours time when they're hungry again.

That's some trick alright
The lambs seem to be managing the lower teats now
But I lost 2 lanbs before as I didn't realise till after that she had 4 teats
