WATCH: lambs play indoors during downpours

A farm in the west of the Island says it's had a record-breaking day.

Ballacosnahan Farm in Patrick took to Twitter to show off the new additions to its flock of Loaghtan sheep.

It says it's had the highest number of lambs born on a single day.

And it added because of heavy rain the lambs haven't been able to go outside - but it posted a video of them playing indoors.

Busy day, highest number of births in a single day! We are piling up with ewes & lambs that can’t go out because of endless rain but does mean extra for lamb races! #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreeds #lambing #LambRaces #toomuchrain #isleofman pic.twitter.com/dHOyT0smId
