On wednesday morning we awoke to find that penny had lambed(2 ram lambs and 1 ewe lamb) and all were well. As you can see by the picture Sharon gives them an early boost by tube feeding them with some colostrum. We tend to do this with most triplets and any weak lambs that are born as you are then assured that they are of to a good start. The ewe has plenty of milk and will be a very good mother. We sprayed their navels with iodine (stops infection) and gave them a squirt of kick start(full of all the vitamins they need). She has lambed a few days early for the 2012 showing season but the main thing is that all are well.
