A EWE who gave birth to five live lambs in mid Wales has become something of a local celebrity.

The lambs were born on Coedmore Hall Farm in Cellan, near Lampeter.

Sheep usually deliver between one and three offspring.

Farmer Emily Jones said it was the second time it has happened on her farm - though she did not know why.

The births were not a complete surprise because of a pregnancy scan, but they had not been expected to be all born alive.

"Three came naturally and we pulled out the last two," she told BBC Wales.

Emily Jones says it is "very unusual" for a sheep to have so many live lambs

"It's not often it happens. Very unusual, very, very rarely," she added.

"We've got two girls and three boys. They're a good size, fair play to the sheep. They're all queuing up for food because they want it at the same time.

"Some of the neighbours have been round to see them; there's a fair bit of surprise locally."

Ms Jones added some of the lambs were being given extra help with feeding.
