You can help bottle feed the lambs at Finkley down farm.
For the first several weeks of life, lambs depend on their mothers as their primary food source. Since ewes often give birth to two or sometimes even three lambs, the smallest lamb often doesn’t receive adequate nutrition.When it is not possible to find a ewe to take on the lamb, The staff at Finkley take on these lambs to bottle feed and use a commercial sheep milk replacer.
