First triplet!
« on: April 11, 2015, 03:17:43 pm »
So first triplet of the year and he is gorgeous, I am bottle feeding him as he's the smaller of the three and not as strong. Lambing is progressing well, all the ewes rearing their lambs well. :) :)

My vet said the males are usually the weakest - the Y chromosome being weaker than the X. That's why there are usually more female than male lambs.
