[Jacob-list] quintuplets

[schmick54 at aol.com]

 My friend Cynthia has Nubians and yes, quints were born one year. She kept going to the barn hour after hour and they kept coming !! She was lucky to take a photo of all five standing together. 

Two sets within 20 miles does sound astounding !

This is about goats, not sheep, but I thought someone might be able to satisfy my curiosity. ?How unusual are quintuplets in goats? In our county, two dairy goat breeders each had quintuplets born. One set to a Saanan and one set to a Nubian. ?I had thought that quints were fairly rare in goats and was surprised to hear of two sets born within 20 miles.
