Caridwen is a sheep math wizard, or at least an A student. She can count to three! Not only does she feed all three lambs, but if she only has two, she goes in search of the missing one. The way this year’s lambs are running and bouncing around at very young ages makes keeping track of three a big job.
Last year, when we had sets of triplets, we separated them. We fed the lambs with creep feed and gave the moms some grain. Caridwen is a big, strong ewe, and it looks like she’s feeding all three for now. We’re just going to watch, wait, and see how she does. We can always separate her and feed her and the lambs extra if she starts to lose body condition.
