Spring is one of the busiest and most rewarding times of the farming calendar. As lambing season ramps up, preparation is key to ensuring both ewes and newborn lambs remain healthy and strong.
Having the right lambing equipment on hand can make the process smoother, safer, and far less stressful.
At Watermans Country Supplies Sheep & Lambing Range, farmers can find everything needed to prepare for lambing season, from birthing equipment to lamb nutrition and marking tools — all designed to support the wellbeing of your flock.
Below we explore the essential lambing products for spring and why they should be part of every lambing kit.
When lambing begins, having the right tools nearby can make a critical difference during difficult births.
Lambing Birthing Equipment is an essential component for any sheep farmer looking to provide the best possible care for their animals during the birthing process.
With products like lubricant and umbilical spray, the birthing process is made much easier and less stressful for both the mother and her offspring. With the use of these products, the newborn lambs are more likely to be born healthy and with less complications.
Key lambing aids include:
These tools help farmers safely assist with births while reducing stress and risk of injury to both ewe and lamb. Using proper lambing equipment also helps maintain hygiene during the process and lowers the chance of infection.
The Battles Obstetrical Lubricant is an essential product to have in your lambing kit. This water-soluble lubricating gel is designed to assist during difficult lambings by reducing friction when helping deliver a lamb, making the process safer and more comfortable for both the ewe and the handler.
Keeping a quality lubricant like Battles Obstetrical Lubricant in your lambing kit can make assisted deliveries safer, easier, and less stressful for both ewe and shepherd.
The first few hours of a lamb’s life are vital. Newborn lambs must receive colostrum, which provides essential antibodies and energy needed for early survival and immune protection.
Essential feeding products include:
These products ensure lambs receive adequate nutrition even if the ewe cannot provide enough milk.
Provita Jump Start for Lambs is a high-energy oral supplement designed to give newborn lambs a strong start in life. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, it helps boost vitality, encourages lambs to get up and suckle quickly, and combats common nutritional deficiencies.
Lamb colostrum plays a vital role in the first hours of a lamb’s life, providing essential energy, protein and antibodies that support early immunity and development.
When maternal colostrum is unavailable or insufficient, supplementary lamb colostrum can help ensure newborn lambs receive the nutrition they need for a strong start. This easy-mix colostrum product is specially formulated to support weak or newborn lambs, promoting healthy growth during the critical early stages of life.
During lambing season it’s essential to keep track of lambs and their mothers.
Our range of marking and counting products includes Ram Crayons, Marking Sticks, Sheep Marking Fluid, and Marker Spray that come in a combo of various colours.
Our Marking products are designed to help you easily identify and count your flock.
Nettex Marksman Marking Aerosol for Sheep & Lambs is a convenient and reliable solution for clearly marking livestock during lambing, sorting, and routine flock management.
Available in a range of bright colours, the quick-drying aerosol spray provides highly visible markings that make it easy to identify ewes and lambs at a glance.
Designed for ease of use, the spray delivers consistent coverage and is ideal for marking lambs at birth, identifying treated animals, or managing groups within the flock. Durable and weather-resistant, it helps ensure markings remain visible in typical farm conditions.
Newborn lambs can quickly lose body heat, especially in wet or cold conditions. Creating a warm environment is essential during early life.
Common aftercare items include:
Providing warmth and a dry environment helps prevent hypothermia and improves survival rates during the first few days.
