GLOBAL WARMING TURNING SHEEP INTO RABBITS

Well anyway, good conditions are causing sheep to breed like rabbits:

A farmer in Western Australia's Great Southern region says he is surprised at the unusual amount of triplet lambs born on the property this season.

Don Thompson from Tincurrin says he is had up to 17 sets of triplet lambs born within his merino lambing flock, while in a normal year he would only expect to see about three.

He attributes the increase to the good condition his ewes were in at mating time and with an abundance of feed on the property now, the triplets are surviving.

"We've probably lost a few of them, which is understandable, because mum picks up two and walks off and leaves one behind," he said.

"Normally if we get triplets, we knock one on the head and let the other two survive but this year I know there's at least four sets of triplets that are surviving so obviously the ewes have got a good bag of milk."

Jeez, those ignorant country folk don't realize sheep are people too.
