Why waste your money on fancy saw blades. Get what a girl really wants. Like a Springfield 1911. Single Stacked, chambered in 9mm.

Love the lambs, they are cute!

Are triplets in sheep common? They are adorable!
Its not terribly uncommon, twins happen often in many breeds. If you enjoy bottle feeding lambs go with Finnsheep they are PROLIFIC. It is common for them to have quads and quints. I have seen reports of one ewe having eight, yes eight lambs who all survived but most needed bottle feeding. Now if you cross a Finnsheep ram with lets say a East Freisian ewe (a dairy breed) then you get a ewe with lots of milk and lots of babies. In that case I've read of this cross supporting four lambs without assistance.

I had learned from reading all the posts on BYH that twins are common, and actually preferred by sheep people. So will you have to bottle feed one of the lambs? Heck I'm still awed when I see quads in the goat posts. It's amazing! 8 lambs on one sheep sounds crazy, but amazing!
