Overrun with beasties
Looks like my older sheep that has nursed a couple sets of triplets. She's completely saggy. Looks just like that.

Yep, it's normal. All my older ewes look like that. (we have mostly trips and twins in our flock).

Old lady's milk jug!
I also wished I had taken a pic of the Blue Faced Leicester girl from 2 years ago who had triplets and a ridiculously large udder.....so big that her lambs couldn't suckle from the teats which were too thick. I milked her and got 3.5 litres from one side and just over a litre from the other. I froze the colostrum/milk down and used it fro orphan lambs and triplet lambs. The ewe then was able to feed her own lambs, but was very saggy all that year.
