Here they are - I have had all of them on the teat twice, to ensure they are getting some colostrum. They will be a handful for sure! The father is a blue faced Leicester, and they all have the curly fleece of that type, but they are all white like their mom (the dad is solid black!). The ewes weighed 5 lb, 7 lb and 8 lb, and the ram weighed 8 lb.

She still hasn't passed the placenta completely.

She had quads last year too. She gets this really hollowed out look when she is pregnant - I think it's partly the weight of the babies. She eats a lot but I always worry when she looks that thin on her back. She gets the weight back though, over the summer.
