Sheep delivers triplets with different fathers

A sheep has given birth to triplet lambs with different fathers at a farm park in Lincolnshire.

Staff believe it happened when the ewes were briefly in a field with all the rams while fence repairs were carried out.Rand Farm Park believe one of the lambs was sired by a Jacob breed ram, while the other two have a Herdwick for a dad.The ewe would normally be bred with a fellow pedigree Dorset but he was clearly not the father, Mr Brickwood said.

The fact the lambs have different paternity is also not unusual, it is just not often noticed as most farms only have sheep from one breed.
