Boston Park

Farm Announces Rare Birth of Quadruplet Lambs –First in 25 Years!

Boston Park Farm is thrilled to announce the rare and extraordinary birth of quadruplet lambs, a remarkable event that has not occurred on the farm in over 25 years. This highly unusual occurrence has captured the attention of both the farming community and animal lovers alike, as quadruplet lamb births are an exceedingly rare phenomenon.

The Suffolk X ewe named Stripe due to her unusual markings, gave birth to four healthy lambs in the early hours of February 27th, 2025. Each lamb is thriving, and both mother and babies are being carefully monitored by the farm's experienced team to ensure their continued health and well-being. "I went out to check the ewes and could see that Stripe had started in labour. She had been scanned in December and this showed she was pregnant with 3 lambs, so we knew she might need a bit of help. It's soon became obvious that she was struggling to progress so I had to give her a bit of help and managed to deliver 3 healthy lambs. She was then left to bond and when we returned an hour later to check on her we found she had given birth to another lamb! To have quadruplet lambs born on our farm is an extraordinary event, one that we haven't witnessed in over two decades. It’s a rare and joyful moment for us, and we are delighted to share this special news with the community," said David Chappell, owner at Boston Park Farm. "All of the lambs are healthy, and Stripe is doing an excellent job caring for them. We're looking forward to watching these little ones grow."

Quadruplet births in sheep are so rare that they occur in fewer than 1 in 500 births, with the odds doubling if all lambs survive. While twins are more common, and triplets are occasionally seen, quadruplets are an extremely rare occurrence in the farming world. This miracle of nature is a testament to the quality care and dedication of the team at Boston Park Farm, who work tirelessly to ensure the health of all their animals.

Boston Park Farm invites visitors to come and meet the adorable new lambs as they begin to explore the farm in the coming weeks. The farm is open every day from 10am until 4pmwhere you get the opportunity to witness firsthand the joy and wonder of new life on the farm.
