Shoof Lamb Milk Train 4-Chamber Lamb Feeder
Description
Shoof Lamb Milk Train - Feed Four Lambs at Once, Measured and Mess-Free
The Shoof Lamb Milk Train is a multi-chamber lamb feeder with four individual 750ml chambers, each fitted with a white little softy starter teat. It is designed for smallholders, shepherds and farm staff hand-rearing orphan, triplet or pet lambs who want to feed several lambs at the same time while still controlling how much each one drinks.
Because the chambers are separate rather than one shared reservoir, a greedy lamb cannot take another lamb's ration - which makes the Milk Train best for mixed pens where a weaker lamb needs watching alongside stronger ones.
Key Features
- Four individual chambers of 750ml each - 3 litres in total
- White little softy starter teats fitted to every chamber, suited to newborn and starter lambs
- Measured feeding - see exactly how much milk each lamb has taken
- Four lambs at once - cuts down repeat trips with individual bottles
- Built for lambing season - orphan lambs, triplets, pet lambs and cade lambs
- Easy to clean - wash chambers and teats after each feed

How to Use
- Mix lamb milk replacer to the strength and temperature stated by the milk replacer manufacturer.
- Fill each of the four chambers with up to 750ml of prepared milk.
- Check each softy teat is securely fitted and free from splits before offering it.
- Present the teats to the lambs, guiding newborns onto the teat until they suck confidently.
- Supervise the whole feed and note how much each chamber has emptied so you can spot a lamb that is off its milk.
- Empty any leftover milk, wash the chambers and teats in warm soapy water, rinse well and leave to dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many lambs can the Shoof Lamb Milk Train feed at once?
Up to four. It has four individual chambers, each holding 750ml, so four lambs can drink at the same time from their own portion.
What size teats does it come with?
Each chamber is fitted with a white little softy starter teat, which is a soft teat suited to newborn and young lambs learning to suck.
Can I use it for orphan and pet lambs?
Yes. It is intended for hand-rearing situations such as orphan lambs, triplets and pet or cade lambs being reared away from the ewe.
How much milk does it hold in total?
3 litres in total - four separate chambers of 750ml each.
How do I clean it?
Empty any unused milk, wash the chambers and teats in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry before the next feed.
Why use separate chambers instead of one shared container?
Separate chambers stop a stronger lamb drinking more than its share and let you see exactly how much each individual lamb has taken.
