Lamb quintuplets born at Arnhem farm

The TokHok farm in Arnhem welcomed five baby lambs born to mother Toppertje on Tuesday, all of them boy lambs, Dutch newspaper AD reports. Quintuplets in sheep is not unheard of, but only happens a few times a year. This is the first set of quintuplets to be born at the TokHok farm. The sheep farming is the most important part of the farm. Between 70 and 90 lambs are expected this year. The lambs are reared for their meat. https://twitter.com/TrendolizerNL/status/697310369216339968
