Scots sheep defies the odds… And gives birth to FIVE LAMBS in one go

A sheep in Sollas on the Isle of North Uist has defied the odds by giving birth to five healthy lambs.

She is a cheviot cross, a breed which often gives birth to twins, but the odds of five births are one in a million.

Their combined weight was a healthy 31 ¾ lb.

The challenge is not over as the ewe can only produce enough milk for one lamb, meaning the other four have to be hand-reared at her croft.
