Lambing and calving can be a particularly stressful time for both the animal and their owners. At Hyperdrug we believe that the better prepared you are for this time of year the less stressful it becomes.

Colostrum is an absolute essential. Colostrum contains essential nutrients and minerals, which are vital if a lamb/calf is to thrive. If the lamb or calf misses this rich first milk then having a suitable replacement on hand is vital. Col-Late Ultra Concentrate Lamb Colostrum is an excellent substitute for the mothers natural milk. For a value for money alternative to Col-Late Ultra Concentrate Lamb Colostrum then try our own brand Lamb Colostrum which is equally effective and much cheaper. We also have an own brand Calf Colostrum, which contains all the essential vitamins and minerals needed by orphaned calves.

If you have a lot of orphaned lambs then our Lamb Feeder Buckets could be the ideal solution. Lamb Feeder Buckets come in two sizes with either three teats or six teats.

Cow Salve is also an important product to keep in stock. It is important to keep teats in good condition to ensure milking is as easy as possible. Cow Salve will moisturise and protect teats and is particularly useful in the event of adverse weather conditions.

Once the initial lambing season is over it is important to castrate any rams which you do not wish to breed from. Castration will prevent any unwanted pregnancy and is made easy with Castration Rings. Using a Castration Ring Applicator, Castration Rings are a quick, easy and painless way to castrate rams. 

In the unfortunate event of a prolapse then the most useful thing is a Prolapse Harness. Complete with Ewe Spoons, this full Prolapse Harness. The prolapse harness is fully recomended by DEFRA. The prolapse harness offers complete support without the need for stitching.
