Sheep gives birth to rare quintuplets - Catherine - 05-03-2025
It is birthing season and it was clear the ewe was almost ready to give birth. Still, it looked like Ashley would have time to pick the kids up from school.
Upon return, Ashley found her ewe with five newborn lambs. They were all cleaned and healthy and doing very well.

Sheep sometimes have twins. Occasionally they can have triplets. Five is very rare.
The ewe is quite a mother. She had all five babies on her own and had cleaned them up and they were all doing well.
She deserves some very good treats for mother's day.
