Four lambs in one day!!

We have been wondering if little Raasey was old enough in the Autumn to father lambs.
Today three of his ladies had lambs - one of them twins (which Oessants rarely do - but presumably the father doesn't have much input to whether it happens or not).
All girls, which is quite amazing as that means we have had 6 girls and a boy so far. There are a further 3 ouessant ewes who will hopefully also lamb. One of them - Tiree - didn't manage a lamb last year so she better make an effort this year else we might be eating mutton. Possibly the fact that she is quite friendly and super keen on sheep nuts which makes it easier to move the flock may save her even without a lamb.
