April 25, 2011 – Quad Lambs!
Our most skittish ewe surprised us with four lambs today! Doing the morning chores, we saw her with recently-born twins, so we ushered her and her lambs into the mothering pen. We checked on her a bit later and she was fine.
I left for errands and when Linda got home, there were four lambs in the pen! We wish her well and will probably need to help her along with extra milk.

Wow! Is that pretty rare? What an overachiever ewe!
The lambs are adorable.
Love this spring time of year with all the babies!

From what I can tell, it is uncommon, but not rare. One source said one out of 100 ewe births are quads.
