Quads

Yesterday, BLD 214 gave birth to four lambs. It was the first set of quads since the 2016 lambing season, when Ms. Piggy had four. 214 has been raising triplet lambs, good quality ones, for several years. She was born a quad, so it must be in the genes.

So far, she has enough milk for her four lambs. I'd really like to let her raise them. I'm willing to feed her to do it. They are three rams and a ewe. They weighed 7.5, 7.8, 7.6, and 7.3 lbs., pretty equal sized. They are also all RR, that that matters so much anymore. Eddie is the sire.

First set of quads since 2016
