Hmmm Not the best news. 17 singletons, 11 not showing (could be late lambs), 36 triplets of which 4 are QUADS! Chances of all 4 lambs surviving is pretty slim but there's also a danger to the ewe and she's worth good money. It's a financial equation. All the rest are twins, which is what you want. Anyway, I'll be 'mekkin ready' to spring into action with the triplets/quads if the mother can't feed them.
This is last year. If I look competent it's because it's the end of the feeding season. When I started 2 years ago there was more milk on me than in the lambs.
Good grief! That's a lot of potential lamb nursery candidates...you'll have to remind me what's meant to be embroidered on your top for this season!
