Most sheep have one or two lambs. This sheep is having difficulty giving birth. The tip of a leg can be seen so the lamb is ready to be born but she can't proceed further, so the farmer helps her out. She has two lambs and soon starts to clean them. The lambs are a brown/yellow colour which shows they have been waiting to be born longer than normal. After about 10 minutes they are up on their feet and walking around the pen. Picture taken 30th March 2008.
