 I used to raise Suffolk sheep, and you know, I could almost always guarantee
they would always start lambing on the coldest night of the winter, which used
to always fall in February.  Then once one ewe starting lambing, they all
seemed to come at once in the same week.  So we were always frozen solid and
sleep deprived for several days....
