  -> Many thanks Carol - I agree with you. However, we are here to help others. Kind regards, Chris.
agree  Tony M: Interesting to speculate, though, which sorts of animals are collectively referred to in 'lots'? Or perhaps there is more context, and this might be extended to (e.g.) batches of eggs, or other foodstuffs?

neutral  Gabrielle Leyden: could it be "Franglais", i.e., lot (like taking samples from the feed lot as opposed to a herd)?

agree  Nedhead: I think batch seems right here too. The only time I'd think of using 'Lot' is for animals/foodstuff going to auction.
