Protection from the first hours
Lamb jackets reduce the risk of hypothermia caused by exposure and starvation — the single biggest cause of preventable lamb losses. Four sizes, from 3lb triplets to well-grown singles.
Hypothermia can suppress a newborn lamb's suckling instinct, reducing colostrum intake, which weakens the lamb and can lead to rejection by the ewe — especially with multiple births. By 5 hours old, a lamb has used most of the brown fat she's born with, and needs more energy to survive in the cold.
Early identification of hypothermia is key to survival — it causes around 30% of lamb losses, many of which are avoidable with early action.

A lamb jacket lets a ewe and her lambs stay together and be turned out in colder, wetter weather — freeing up space in the lambing shed and giving lambs a more natural environment with less exposure to infectious disease.
What farmers say
I am really impressed with these lamb jackets. They are extremely well made and fully adjustable. Delivery was very quick. The grey trim is reflective in light. There is a plastic pocket so you can leave an identification marker in there. I have 2 tiny lambs and 1.5kg and 2.5kg.…
I love these jackets, have had some now for 3 years, wash great, not had one to throw away yet, baring in mind lambs (& ewes) eat or try to eat anything. Keep my pet lambs warm and clean, also using this year on pedigrees, only problem is lambs outgrow…
Just wanted to let you know that I'm really impressed with these jackets. The quality is fantastic, they wash really well & love the plastic pocket on the side. Really good value for money & a brilliant service. Will highly recommend
