Raising lamb on Jersey milk

[peteyfoozer]

It's been a week now since Rosemary's mother died. She is now 1 month old. I started her on straight Jersey milk that night, at 3 weeks. She never lost weight and is definitely still gaining!
She's also decided Cletapotamus is her protector and bodyguard.

What a pretty baby!

and an interesting name for your dog. I like it!

That baby is awesome! I love the eye spots and tipped ears . Looks like she's got a great bodyguard too!

thanks! His real name is "Cletus" (named by the hub) but I always called him "potamus" because he is huge. He was 70 lb at 5 months old. He loves his pets! His brother is more into patrolling and policing the place for predators.
I love her funny markings too.

How old is the lamb standing next to your bottle baby? I think Jersey milk is a great solution to equal the richness of sheep's milk.

The black headed lamb is Stewie, the one I had to pull. HE is exactly 2 weeks old.
