14 lambs born so far - 10 boys, 4 girls... 5 left to lamb.....

Ouch!!

We started lambing today - 2 sets of twins, 1 ewe, 3 tups - groan. But plenty more to go so I'm not worried

Even worse for you Trish.lamb last year.

Had a run of gimmers at the start now everything coming out has balls. Far more tups than gimmers

Just finished with triplets which brings things to a neat 50:50.

5 gimmers, 1 wether. The freezer is going to be a bit sparse next year!
