Meirionnydd sheep gives birth to six healthy lambs in 'very rare' event
Ms McNaught's grandfather said he had never seen so many lambs born from the same ewe in his 70 years of farming.Erin said she was shocked by the arrival of the six lambs
Ms McNaught said the lambs were doing well apart from one which had been smaller than the rest and struggled to stand."But you wouldn't be able to tell the difference now, they're enjoying the milk." Ms McNaught said the ewe had been struggling to care for all six of her offspring, so she was helping to feed them with powdered milk from a bottle.
"They're all up on their feet with a belly full of milk and under the infrared lamp that keeps them warm, so they're all happy now," she said. "To have them all alive is something even more rare. For six lambs to be healthy is something very, very special."
