Researchers hunt for 'freaky sheep' : "They've found some ewes which have four milk-producing teats, and hope to breed them with rams who have six teats, rather than the usual two."
Last time they were looking for ugly sheep. Now they want ewes with four milk producing teats so that lambs are not disadvantaged. This must be 2007. How long have sheep been having lambs? Haven't they been doing okay? Apparently now the ewes are having multiple births and so the lambs can be disadvantaged. Are they using IVF? It all seems a bit hard on the sheep and a bit too much in favour of scientific experimentation. Proving what we can do. Is it an issue? Can't say I know a whole lot about our sheep except they produce fantastic wool and I thank them for that.
