Two Ozarks Technical Community College sheep give birth to lambs

Three lambs were recently born at Ozark Technical Community College’s campus in Nixa. This marks the first-ever birth of baby animals by livestock belonging to the Agriculture Program, officials say.

OTC’s Richwood Valley Campus had one set of twins and a single born on May 5, according to agriculture instructor Rob Flatness.

“We were in class when the sheep were giving birth, and a person walking on the trail stopped by the agriculture building to tell us the lambs were making their debut,” Flatness said via news release.

Richwood Valley is home to 12 Katahdin sheep, with 10 ewes and two rams.
