So when you get triplets, one of the three is sent to this playpen where they feed on milk bottles and become very friendly and tame. Then if there’s another sheep with only one lamb, the farmers can try to ‘adopt’ one of these homeless lambs into a new family, often by shutting them in the same pen together until mother sheep gets the idea and starts treating the new lamb as one of her own.
