Lincolnshire farm welcomes 10th set of lamb triplets
28th February 2025
A Lincolnshire farm has been celebrating an unprecedented lambing season as it has just welcomed its 10th set of triplets.
Pippa Williams, the owner of Eastfield Farm, told the BBC that it was unusual to see more than three sets of triplets from the 120 first-time mums at their farm during the lambing season, which started at the beginning of February.
The farm located in Alford has 620 sheep to lamb this season, with the owners hoping to have 1,000 born, however, the numbers can be much higher.
Mrs Williams added that the sheep are “really good mums”. “We never leave three lambs on a sheep, we take one off, so they’re left with two.
“The extra lamb either we will feed it or try and adopt it to a mum who has only had one lamb,” BBC reported.
