Subject: ewes and newborn twin lambs
We have this one ewe who gave birth yesterday to twins. She has accepted one
and rejects the other. We have been bottle feeding the rejected lamb. We
still have all three together and today we took some of the accepted lamb's
bowel movement and wiped it on the other lamb and she still will not accept
it but she has slowed down on butting it around.
Do you have any suggestions? We have heard of pouring salt water on the
rejected lamb and she would lick it off and then accept it, but we did not
try it yet and we also heard to put talc powder on the ewe's nose and then
on the babies.
Have not tried that. We could put her in a stanchion.
Thank you .
Dorothy
Hi Dorothy,
It looks like the most important thing is to get the ewe's milk into the
rejected lamb until the point where the ewe smells her own milk when she
smells the lamb's anus. You could try dabbing some of her milk onto the
lamb's anus. You may have to restrain the ewe to let the rejected lamb
nurse for a while.

Hello ___?
Please give your first name when making requests.
I could not find anything that mentioned Mrs. Frye, but onion syrup for
colds was easy. See below.
Phaed
Onion Syrup
3-medium onions, peeled and cut up a little water in bottom of sauce pan ,
may need to add more as it cooks
and honey or molasses to sweeten.
You put onions in the sauce pan with a bit of water just about an inch of
water in bottom of pan and then slowly cook the onions you keep them cooking
til they are cooked down to almost a liquid state keep an eye on the water
amount, so that the onions do not burn to bottom of pan, when it is soft
enough til almost that liquid state then you add your honey or molasses
to sweeten . Then sip the drink down , you do this repeatedly but it must be
warm to drink it.
This recipe has been used for generations for colds and flu.

Hello Bobby,
Well, some recipes call for it to be baked instead of cooked in a pressure
cooker. See below for both kinds.

an unique round shape. After taking cans from oven, leave bread in

Hello Silvia,
I have not tried any of these substitutes, but they are supposed to work.
See below.
Phaed
Madeira Wine: an equal measure of unsweetened orange juice or apple juice
plus 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Rum or Brandy (2 tablespoons): 1/2 to 1 teaspoon rum or brandy extract or 2
tablespoons water, white grape juice or apple juice
Whiskey (2 tablespoons): 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Sherry (2 tablespoons): 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 2 tablespoons
orange or pineapple juice
Port, sweet sherry, rum, brandy or fruit-flavored liqueur (1/4 cup): Equal
measure of unsweetened orange juice or apple juice plus 1 teaspoon of
corresponding flavored extract or vanilla extract
White wine (1/4 cup or more): Equal measure of white grape juice, chicken
broth, vegetable broth, clam juice or nonalcoholic wine. If you use
nonalcoholic wine, add a tablespoon of vinegar to cut the sweetness.
(Consider the recipe and which of these would taste better with it).
Red wine (1/4 cup or more): Equal measure of red grape juice, cranberry
juice, apple cider, chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, clam juice,
flavored vinegar or nonalcoholic wine. If you use nonalcoholic wine, add a
tablespoon of vinegar to cut the sweetness. (Consider the recipe and which
