The activists named the three lambs Sammy, Sunny and Sooty.
Footage of the incident shows the women running onto the farm, picking up a lamb before turning around and carrying it to the van.
Another clip shows the activists sitting in the field watching the grazing sheep as they eat.
The incident has sparked a backlash from some viewers of the online clips.
Ryan Johnson said: "Stealing from farmers and taking lambs from their mothers is disgraceful and pathetic."
It is unknown if the lambs have been returned to the farmer or if they have been released into the wild.
