Threes

Fourteen of the ewes had triplets. Eleven ewes are raising triplets.  I removed one of the lambs from a 9 year old ewe that had triplets. One ewe had a dead lamb in her litter. Another ewe only milks from one side. She's a good milker and can usually raise two good lambs. If she has three, I raise the extra one. This time, I had to feed two of her lambs. I think one of the lambs couldn't figure out which side to get milk from. Regardless, she only raised one, so it's time for her to go.

It was Rosie's first set of triplets:  also three ewe lambs

This ewe was very sick when she lambed last year.
What a comeback!

The goat (Louise) had triplets, too.

Some ewes have triplets every year. Some have one or two sets in their lifetime. Most ewes have triplets at least once. Nigerian Dwarf goats are very prolific, too. I expect Louise to have three every year.
