We have some serious baby bumps going on so today I am getting my lambing supplies together. I don’t know about your place but at this ranch if I need something its always at 2 o’clock in the morning and I cant find it or I’m out of it. So this year I will be ready, here are some of the things I like to keep on hand.
- Rubber gloves
- OB lube
- Leg puller
- Pen G any ewe that needs help gets a shot
- Needles and syringes
- Digital Thermometer
- Iodine
- Powdered Colostrum and Lamb milk replacer
- Nipples
- Propylene for Pregnancy Toxemia
- Calcium for Milk fever and a 50 cc syringe
- Drench gun
- Dex, Banamine, Vitamin B Complex
- Ear Tags and gun
- Scales and sling
- Record book
- Karo syrup
- Plenty of clean rags, towels and a couple extra shirts. (Somehow I always use my shirt to clean noses and mouths of newborn lambs).
- Last but not least a deep breath !
