A sheep owned by Anne and Gunnar O’Connor recently gave birth to a rare and remarkable batch of six lambs earlier this month.
The O’Connors, who own Clover & Bee Farm in Vermont say they were definitely surprised, considering the ewe was only supposed to have two lambs this time.
“I was a little bit suspicious, just given how big she was and that she was going a little earlier, that she might have more than two. Six is great, but it’s definitely — it’s plenty,” Anne O’Connor tells AP News.
It is not confirmed how uncommon sheep sextuplets are, but some sources say it is one in a million or higher.
