I've not seen "Udder Balm", but our local equivalents in the farm
shops have too much in the way of additives.
At present, the closest to pure lanolin I've found is for treating
horse tack. This is creamed and has solvents added, but as I wanted to
make leather dressings from it anyway, they seem to be compatible with
the rest of my recipe. Trouble is that the price of anything horse-
related gets steep.
May not be available readily over there; the old timey favorite used as
a kid for its intended purpose amongst others was "The Original" Bag
Balm (since 1899)...
