Fifth Ouessant lamb

Which makes eight in total so far...

This is the 5th Ouessant. He was born already the same size as the four born a week before. So now there are 5 Ouessant lambs - 2 boys and 3 girls - and 3 'meat flock' lambs 2 girls and a boy. We will eat all the boys, keep the meat flock girls and not sure about the Ouessant girls - maybe sell them.
There are two more Ouessants that could have lambs (but only one that looks likely) and one more 'meat flock' that could have one but is not likely too (bit young). So in summary we expect one more lamb.

We have an extra beyond what we expected as one of the Ouessant had twins. One of them started off very weak but is doing fine now. What a clever mum! Maybe we should keep one... are they more likely to have twins, being a twin? Not sure...
