Triplets

 We've been expecting the Gotlands'  to produce for the last 10 days or so.  Lambing doesn't usually occur through the night, but here ,at this time of the year the day starts at 4am and ends at about 11pm. So an eye needs to be kept on them in case they get complications . So this means checking on them about every 60-90 minutes. The first one lambed ( a singleton) at about 2pm .
The most pregnant ewe found her way back into the sheepshed mid morning, and then at 11am , one appeared. But we were expecting twins, so we waited .
A couple of hours later the 2nd one made an appearance

a brief  interruption whilst we helped clear the membranes and rupture the amniotic sac, and then the ewe did her bit

And then 30 minutes later the third one appeared 

So after a couple of hours we have mum and 3(male) lambs
