Foster Mother System – Naturally Healthy, Efficiently Raised

Give your lambs the best start in life with our Foster Mother system, designed to raise strong, healthy animals while saving you time and labour.

Because lambs are flock animals, they thrive when kept together. Our system houses lambs in groups with plenty of space to move, access to sun and shade, and clean, dry sleeping areas – creating an environment as close to nature as possible.

Instead of limited, twice-daily feeding, lambs enjoy 24-hour access to high-quality milk replacer at the correct mixture and temperature. Just like with their mothers, they can drink whenever they want, in the quantity they need – ensuring natural growth and steady weight gain.

Our unique teat and sucking system:

Regulates milk flow for safer feeding

Prevents fluid entering the lungs

Encourages proper sucking action and teat sealing

Reduces the risk of overdrinking and cross-sucking

This means healthier lambs, less stress, and higher survival rates.

Practical and efficient, milk is mixed cold every 12 hours, and the standard system can feed up to 60 lambs with only one operator required. That’s less work, less cost, and more time for you to focus on your flock.

Wydale

Wydale Calf feeder

One man using two 5 Teat feeders can feed over 70 calves an hour.
Using this system a typical calf can be weaned on as little as 15 kgs of milk powder as opposed to 50 kgs on the Ad Lib method.


The cowling guides the calf to the teat and protects it from its neighbour ensuring slow drinkers get enough milk.

In addition, calves' herded in groups encourages earlier intake of solid food,whilst exercise helps digestion and gives freedom to find a draught free position. Calves are generally happier.
The wydale system is not only fast and efficient it also remains the best for animal welfare.

The troughs have compartments each holding 2 litres (3 1/2 pints) to the ridge along the back or 3 litres (5 1/4 pints) to the top of the weirs. You only need to fill up as many compartments as you have calves per pen. One sick calf can be given medicated milk/electrolytes if necessary and the rest plain milk. Colostrum can be fed to new born calves before they can stand; simply put the feeder on the floor and push to the calf's mouth. It is ideal for introducing the first feed to bought in calves from market - without the struggle!
