heat lamps??

[Pearce Pastures]

I probably would. I time our kiddings to coincide with my school year ending, which is at the end of May/beginning of June, and we put out heat lamps then on a timer so that the kids have a warm place to sleep at night.

Will my babies need heatlamps in February? It'll probably be in the 30's or 40's at night.

Yes, a heat lamp/warming barrel would be a good idea for the first few hours while the kids dry off and learn to nurse. But I don't always use them in 40 to 50 degree weather, depends on how fast the kids nurse, how strong their legs are and how experienced the mom is. But it would be a good Idea to have a plan and have something available to warm up the kid.

Good to know, thank you, I'll plan on setting some up in the baby barn before they are born.
