Just a wee note on the quintuplets. We have left the sheep with four lambs to feed at the moment, and the fifth one is being bottle fed under the heat lamp, as it has become a wee bit weaker. We will eventually have to take another two off her, and bottle feed them. This is because sheep usually only have enough milk to keep two lambs fit and strong. Before she goes outside to the field , we will have to decide on what two lambs to take off her! This will be a hard choice, as the four remaining are all so strong! Tonight they were just happily relaxing on their Mums back!
Only 142 sheep left to lamb! Less and less mouths to feed....
Now you would think nature would provide for all four wouldn't you? Love the picture of them on mummy's back
