Student midwives from Anglia Ruskin University helped deliver lambs in Bradwell.
The third-year students visited Perry Green Farm where they helped Ruby the ewe give birth to two lambs.
The 11 students worked with farmer Tom Speakman, feeding animals and doing other tasks.
Sophie Morris, 20, said: “It’s really interesting seeing how sheep give birth and the similarities with humans.”
Lecturer Claire Hooks said: “We take the students so they can observe birth and look at similarities – not just in birth itself but recognition, bonding, feeding and pre-birth behaviour.”
