    Just wondering are these Automatic suck lamb feeders any good. I have no sheep but im thinking of getting one to rear some lambs. Would I make anything off them? What are peoples experiences of them? Which is the best make to buy?

    Are you going buying a fully automated one or the one that just keeps the milk warm ? I had a fully automatic Volac one here for a few years. A good machine. Once the lambs are trained in turn down the temperature of the milk it'll stop them sickening themselves drinking too much milk. It would want to be cleaned out every few days. Free flow lamlac will have to be used in the machine and get them eating nuts as quick as possible.

    You won't make any money buying pet lambs and finishing them. Lamb milk replacer is a lot more expensive than the stuff for calves
