[Jacob-list] Lambs

[southwindfarms@frontiernet.net]

Hi All,

I have been lambing out my 25 bred ewes and am nearing the end (six to  
go).  The past few years I have had 2 sets of triplets each year,  
always from different ewes.  So far this year we have four sets of  
triplets, two coming from the same two ewes who gave us triplets last  
year.  One of the six remaining ewes gave me triplets once before and  
is as big as a house.  You can see our lambs at  
http://www.southwindfarms.org/sheepsales.htm

I have had Jacobs since 1989 and thought triplets very rare until the  
past 3 or 4 years and then thought 2 sets a year were quite a bit.   
None of the triplet mothers have been a triplet themselves although  
several have been related to each other.
