Still just the one and him presumably conceived in Aug/Sept so his Father may well have been one of the 2014 lamb crop still running with the group of Mums. So, no twins at least till Polly decided to take her turn at the motherhood. We're guessing (still) March 25th but on current experience....... who knows?

We have reared and eaten several boys now in their 'entire' state, killing at about 6 months and 50-55 kg and never detected any taint. The only difference we have found was that the butcher mutters under his breath while sawing as the boys' bones are allegedly tougher(!). Good news on the grass, though.
