Just a thought, and this has nothing to do with mastitis. I have a friend who
has been raising sheep for years. When she has triplets, she always take one
away from the mother and gives it to someone else to bottle feed or she does
herself.
She told me, Liz/ with triplets, they all suffer.
One very important preventative measure is to ensure you provide clean and dry
bedding. Lactating ewes can be more susceptible to mastitis if they are forced
to bed in wet and confined areas.

Depends on the ewe-I have a ewe that for the last 3 years has given birth to
triplets and has given them excellent care...I think she can count how many
babies she has as 2 will nurse and then when one leaves the other steps up
and she waits until the last one is done. She is an exceptional mother
