    I am probably wrong here and thinking of something else, I remember reading somewhere about "uterine horns" and lambs being reabsorbed or something like that, perhaps could have started out as trips, and knocked down to twins, I don't know if that's possible. Terrible having a crap memory :pac:

    You're on the ball, con, two lambs one side, one gets reabsorbed and affects the performance of the other lamb on that side

    Hi
    I head 5 miss scans this year singles to doubles. Each had big and small lamb. I feed singles about half what a double gets. The rest of my doubles were around the same size maybe feed level could have something to do with it.
