Farmer Produces Lambs With SIX LEGS to Help Boost Profits and Food Yields

A British farmer has successfully
produced the first six-legged lambs and
he now hopes to breed them on a mass
scale.
Simon Bennett says that he hopes the
birth of two healthy lambs called
Cupcake and Sprinkles will help to
significantly reduce the cost of meat for
consumers.
The fascinating development happened
completely ‘by chance’ and has left
scientists baffled.
The animals have been given a clean bill
of health and are currently undergoing
genetic monitoring ahead of a possible
breeding programme.
Simon, from Riverside Organic in
Whatcroft, Cheshire was lost for words
when the animals arrived.
He said: “We had no outside involvement
from scientists, we were not trying to
create these lambs, we’re an organic
farm so their existence is purely down to
Mother Nature.
“We have had a lot of interest from
leading scientists and vets all around
the world, not to mention the thousands
of people who want to come and see the
animals for themselves.
“Their six legs have made them fitter
and leaner and we expect their meat to
be extra succulent.”
A spokesman for the British Livestock
Society said: “We are currently working
with several veterinarians, farmers and
scientists to establish the feasibility of a
breeding programme.
“These lambs are healthy and having
carried out extensive tests, we are happy
their offspring would be safe to enter
Britain’s food chain.
“Although still speculative, we believe
this could have a significant impact on
the cost of meat if the breeding
programme proves successful.”
The Sheep Breeders’ Union added: “It’s
an incredible development which has the
potential to radically change meat
production in the UK.”
