You asked, we answered. 🐑

Does abrupt weaning cause unnecessary stress for lambs?

According to Stacey Bruna, abrupt weaning is the recommended approach - provided lambs are properly prepared and already familiar with their feed. Done right, it reduces stress and keeps lambs focused on growth.

You asked, we answered ❓

What should you look for when choosing a lamb milk replacer?

Dr Jessica Cooke's advice: start with protein and fat content - Lamlac contains 24% crude protein and 24% fat. Beyond the numbers, ingredient quality and choosing a supplier you can trust matter just as much.

Good weaning outcomes start with hitting the right milestones. 🐑

Lambs should be at least 35 days old, around 2.5 times their birth weight and be eating 250g of creep per day before weaning begins - once those are in place, abrupt weaning works well.

Mental Health Awareness Week 🧠

Lambing season takes its toll - long nights, early starts and the pressure of bringing animals through safely can leave farmers running on empty. If you or someone you know needs support, the FCN helpline is available 24 hours a day on 03000 111 999.

You asked, we answered!

What temperature should Lamlac be fed at? 🌡️

Dr Jessica Cooke's advice is clear: if you want to feed it cold you need to mix cold - rather than leaving it to cool. Another option is to feed warm using the back of the bag as your guide
