My yearling ewe that was bred by break-in ram in Jan. gave birth yesterday afternoon and has no milk. The lamb is TINY, but up and about. Mom cleaned her up and dotes on her, but no milk. I've fed the lamb 3 times with colostrum from my neighbor's goat. Suggestions? I plan to give lamb some probiotics next feeding and sheep milk preplacer.

Thanks,
Laura
