[Jacob-list] Bottle baby weaning

[Kate Shirley]

I have a lamb that will be 8 weeks old on the 2nd.  How on earth does
one go about weaning the blasted thing?  She drinks 5 (yes, 5) 15 oz
bottles of milk replacer per day.  Plan to cut her back to three.  She
squawks and carries on like she is starving to death.  Help!

p.s.  I have been very fortunate; in 10 years I have never had a bottle
baby for more than 2 days.  One weaned itself and the other became a
true bummer; fattest thing you ever saw.
