Glad you enjoyed.

Just come back after checking a ewe who was scanned as having triplets to find she's had quads!!!!

Good grief!! Can she suckle that many? Do ewes let other lambs suckle from them? Or will you have to bottle-feed?

Poor thing!

She is in good condition so would be able to raise them if she was given extra feeding. We will probably try and twin a couple of them. We aim to have the mum's raising two, but it doesn't always work out that way.

Very few ewes will let other lambs suckle. Cattle are a bit more willing.

We'll see how they are in the morning and then decide what to do.
