A 'whopper' of a lamb has been born at a farm in North Nottinghamshire - which was so big it dislocated the farmers finger when he was helping to deliver it.

The female was born weighing a humongous 19.5lbs in the early hours of Tuesday, April 12 at White Post Farm in Farnsfield.

And Farmer Simon, who helped to deliver her, even dislocated his finger in the process.

Anthony Moore, a manager at the farm, said newborn lambs usually weigh 5-10lbs.
