Shoof 10 Teat Lamb Feeder Rail Bucket for Lambing
Description
Shoof Lamb Feeder Rail Bucket - Feed Ten Lambs At Once
The Shoof Lamb Feeder Rail Bucket is a 10 space lamb feeder fitted with little softy starter teats that simply hangs on any convenient rail. It is designed for shepherds, smallholders and hobby farmers rearing orphan or supplementary-fed lambs who need to feed several lambs at the same time.
Because it hangs rather than stands, the bucket stays upright and off the pen floor, which keeps bedding cleaner and stops lambs tipping their feed. It is best for indoor lambing pens and any pen with a rail or division to hang from.
