Lamb Jackets
Lamb jackets reduce the risk of hypothermia, caused by exposure and starvation. 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.
Material: 600D Oxford outer shell, 100g filling, nylon lining. Community Registered Design No. 002935007.
| Size | Weight range |
|---|---|
| Extra Small | 3–8 lb |
| Small | 8–12 lb |
| Medium | 12–16 lb |
| Large | 16 lb+ |
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, rather than removing a cold lamb for artificial heating and risking rejection when she's returned smelling different.
