• Farmers suffer frustration when a ewe rejects one of her own or an adopted lamb
• A bucket is a cheap method of fostering lambs
• Cut the base out of a plastic bucket approximately 8cm form the rim
• Place the bucket over the ewes head so she can’t see/smell the lambs
• Ensure the bucket is resting on the wool and not irritating the ewe’s neck
• The ewe will not know which lamb is sucking
• Remove the bucket after approximately six weeks
