Woollie warmer was launched in March 2006 and is owned by Farmers wife Sally Howe. Like most Sheep farmers wives Sally always gets cold lambs brought into the kitchen to warm and revive. As a solution to this problem Sally invented the Woollie Warmer.
The Woollie warmer is an insulated plastic box with a sling fixed inside to hold a weak hypothermic lamb in an upright position. The lambs body is then submerged in warm water with its head supported outside the box.
The woollie warmer can be used in the pen alongside the ewe so preventing mis-mothering and rejection. Farmers who used the Woollie Warmer last spring have reported that they also used it as an adopting tool by surrounding an orphan lamb with water and some afterbirth of a single lambed ewe. The Woollie Warmer is then placed in the pen whilst the orphan lamb takes on the smell of the ewes own lamb.
The Woollie Warmer is causing a stir amongst shepherds and merchants alike and is available at a retail price of £85 + VAT. (Go farmer introductory offer = £75 + VAT + p&p)
Even Prince Charles has got a Woollie Warmer for use at Highgrove.
