[Jacob-list] Second Pregnancies

[Sean Mallinson]

How far apart were the multiple births?  Do you keep a ram with your ewes
year round?  We purchased a flock of sheep from someone who kept a ram with
the ewes year round last year and we did have one ewe give birth twice
within about a 8-9 month period.  There are some breeds like the Romanov
that are purposefully bred to be able to birth every seven months or so.
