Too many lambs.

[Qman]

My first 14 sheep to lamb has been:- 3 quads. 7 triplets. 4 twins and 0 singles.

I'm going to get some milk powder tomorrow, looks like I will need it. I hate turning sheep out with 3 lambs, they often get a bad bag, but it looks like I will have to.

Anyone want any spare lambs which have had colostrum? Please PM me.

Better with multiples at the start, at least they are there to twin onto singles as they lamb.

Lots of singles and then loads of multiples is worse IMO

Iv nothing but bloody triplets left so think yourself lucky you might have a boom of singles iv no hope haha

I feel your pain. Mine scanned with 1 quad, 5 triplets and 10 twins. So far I have 29 lambs from 13 ewes and 9 on the milk feeder- of which 3 were triplets I lifted, 3 were a set of triplets from a poorly ewe, 1 set of twins from a ewe that pegged it and 1 of the quads (I managed to wet foster the other quad and left mum with 2). The milk feeder has been a god send
