So this year we had three sets of twins and one singleton, all natural (no AI).
(Seven lambs from four ewes, four male and three female; two 75% and five 5/8- and yes all spoken for, sorry.)
Not too bad a ratio, right 175%?
This fall will be another round of AI, talking about flushing and embryo transfer from my 75% ewe (she had twin ewe lambs her first breeding), which would bump me up to a crop of 87.5% lambs instead of one set, with the other 50% ewes giving me more 75% lambs. I'll keep you posted.

This is very exciting work you are doing. I would love to have a lamb.. but need to study much on care so that it will be healthy and happy. I am also told there should be two so they can keep each other happy.
