OK you’re right, it’s a bucket with teats to feed orphan lambs. To me though it’s the answer to a good night’s sleep. With Rosie not having any milk at all, that means we need to feed her twins every few hours and that means we’re getting very little sleep, exacerbated by almost no sleep on both Monday and Tuesday.  Something had to change or we’d be on our knees before lambing finishes.

Rosie’s twins took to the bucket pretty straight away. Spot, the twin with a black spot on it’s front left leg, gorged big time. She was  so bloated she went and lay in the corner of the shed for the next 4 hours to sleep off her huge meal.
