Here's our essential checklist for a successful lambing season:
Lambing Pens & Bedding
A clean, dry, and comfortable space is crucial for both ewe and lamb. This is their safe space to live comfortably. Our fence posts allow you to easily create multiple pens, we offer a range of electric fence posts from trusted brands such as Agrifence and Horizont.
Essentials to consider:
Lambing pens or hurdles to create individual spaces, alongside deep straw bedding for warmth and hygiene. Our Fyna-Lite Multi Mucka Stable Fork is a great accessory to help you create the perfect environment for your lambs to feel safe and comfortable in.
Disinfectant sprays and parasite control repellent, for maintaining cleanliness, are important to consider. Our Sheep Fly & Parasite Control section offers you products to help you keep your flock healthy and happy. Our selection includes large quantities of maggot oil for targeted application to problem areas, as well as blowfly repellent that works to ward off flies and other pests.
With our Sheep Fly & Parasite Control products, you can rest assured knowing that your sheep are protected from the harmful effects of parasites and flies, which can cause discomfort, infection, and even death in severe cases.
Colostrum & Feeding Equipment
A lamb’s first feed is vital – especially if the ewe can’t provide it herself.
Our Provita Lamb Colostrum comes in a range of sizes, and is an essential alternative for newborn lambs, packed with natural EU-sourced dried colostrum and a generous dose of egg powder, safeguarding the well-being of these young ones. It offers a quick energy boost, raising their blood sugar levels for warmth and a swift start to nursing.
Simple to prepare in lukewarm water, Provita Lamb Colostrum ensures that lambs have easy access to carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, and vitamins. It's the ideal choice at birth to assist lambs in getting on their feet and nursing effectively.
Our Lamb feeding bottles and teats provide effective feeding for lambs, ensuring they get enough nutrition and feeding throughout the day. Feeding bottles for lambs are essential during lambing season, especially when dealing with orphaned lambs or those struggling to suckle naturally.
Designed with soft, easy-to-use teats, these bottles ensure lambs get the vital colostrum and milk they need in the early hours of life. Durable, hygienic, and easy to clean, they're a must-have in any lambing kit to help support healthy growth and survival.
Marking & Identification Tools
Marking and identification tools are crucial during lambing season to keep track of newborns, monitor health, and manage your flock efficiently. Our Sheep Marking & Counting products include 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. Ram Crayons and Marking Sticks are used to mark your sheep, making it easy to keep track of them and ensure that all of your animals have been accounted for. Our Sheep Marking Fluid and Marker Spray create permanent, highly visible markings that can be easily seen from a distance.
Whether you're using colour-coded sprays, tagging kits, or numbering systems, these tools make it easy to identify lambs at a glance and record key details.
Quick, reliable, and weather-resistant, they're a simple way to stay organised during this busy time.
