Ok it's stories like this that make me want to adopt.
Not that I ever plan on giving birth to a 23lb lamb - but...I am actively searching out the Mama Lamb's mailing address so I can send her some kind of basket loaded with Ibprofen and heating pads...
Aside: How thrilled does the baby lamb look. "Hey! Lookitmee!! I'm ginormous!!!"
======================================================
As woolly lambs go, she's something of a mammoth.
So pity poor old mum when Sally arrived in the world.
Weighing a massive 23lb - three times the size of a normal lamb - the youngster doesn't so much gambol as stride across the pasture.

Farmer Ken Jones had been a little puzzled when ewe Daisy kept on getting bigger, and bigger, but didn't give birth.
But he soon found out why when he spotted the Suffolk cross struggling to give birth on Sunday.
'She was lying down and pushing for quite some time and obviously having some difficulties so I went to help,' he said.
'I thought she was having triplets, she was so big. As I pulled the front legs I thought, "This is a big one".
'It only came out about halfway when normally that would have been the whole lamb - it just kept coming and coming. It was incredible. We've had quite a few big lambs but she was nearly twice the size of anything we have had before.'

The whole delivery took about 15 minutes, compared to two or three minutes for a more modestly sized lamb. Not surprisingly, Daisy needed a bit of a rest after her birthing ordeal.
But Sally - named after the song Mustang Sally - was soon up on her feet and suckling.
Mr Jones said: 'They are usually a bit lazy when they are big, but she was surprisingly quick to get up.'
Mr Jones, a part-time sheep farmer with his wife Susan at their home in East Huntspill, Somerset, said Sally has a 'big future'.
'We tend to have too many ewe lambs to keep but she's special and has had a lucky escape,' he said. 'She's not for the chop.'
A spokesman for the British Veterinary Association said: 'Big births like this can be one of the quirks of nature - it could be down to things like the genetics or the feed.'
