Randy the ram fathers 33 lambs in 24 hours

Randy the ram has certainly been a busy boy recently.

The aptly-named animal escaped from his pen at the West Lodge Rural Centre in Northamptonshire and during his time on the run he managed to father 33 lambs in just 24 hours.

Some 13 of the babies have already been born and the other 20 ewes are expecting.

Farmer Ryan Thompson stated he cannot believe how many lambs the ram was able to produce in such a short period of time.

He added :"It's quite comical because we separate them for a couple of months before breeding season, but when they come into season the ewes produce a perfume that drives rams wild."

You have to take your hat off to the ram, who certainly enjoyed his time roaming the land.

At only 11 months old, it is clear that Randy is learning fast when it comes to the female species of the world.
