I’ve got over 100 triplets out of 400. Came in this morning and a quad had stollen 6 lambs and then had her own, sat there quite happy with 10 lambs ?Think yourself lucky.
Mate I go help has 600 ewes... He's expecting 102 triplets and 4 quads.

Orrrrrr Bloody hell!?I’ve got over 100 triplets out of 400. Came in this morning and a quad had stollen 6 lambs and then had her own, sat there quite happy with 10 lambs ?
No never. Had the worst type yesterday, twin that pinched every lamb all day then lambed and didn’t clear the water bag off the lambs noses! Then wouldn’t take to another lamb, she’s now in solitary confinement for 2 days!Them bitches are never carrying a single are they. And they never pinch just one...
Big fit mules. I’m glad they are in, have another 400 lambing outside in 2 weeks that only have 25 triplets.Orrrrrr Bloody hell!?
What breed are they? Some milk breeds are communal rearing. (Hippie sheep! )
Best of luck to you and hope the buggers behaveBig fit mules. I’m glad they are in, have another 400 lambing outside in 2 weeks that only have 25 triplets.

Big difference today to yesterday,bloody cowd, bitter wind
It's not lambing if theres not niggly problems ?.with it slowing down a little at least it will have given you chance to get them out
seem to be in a run of niggly problems at min. shearlings been bad mothers, and found a cracking lamb wi watery mouth
I've started getting a big en an a small en. I'm blaming you ? yea don't know what's up wi shearlings this year, they've come off same previous ewes who have always done well ? hopefully this is me main week so fingers crossed for plenty of healthy lambs ?It's not lambing if theres not niggly problems ?.
Had alot wi one leg this time and twins wi one good lamb and a rabbit sized un.
Shearlings have tested mi patience this year, tried just about everything under the sun on some of um and give up, quite a few wi the cull mark on um now. If theyed of lambed on the moor theyed if buggered off to the other end
Soon be clipping time???
