Can you take it?


This sheep has triplets! At first I was concerned about her parenting choices. The lambs often seemed to be strewn about all over the pasture and the smallest lamb (weighing 3 pounds at birth) was often kicked off the teat. But now she really impresses us. The three lambs are always right around the momma and all lambs seem to be nursing equally. When the family relaxes, there is usually a lamb on the mama's right, left, and at her feet. Pretty awesome.
