Sheep for Sale - All Ages Highlights

  • Lifespan and Growth: Sheep can live for 10-12 years, with ewes typically reaching maturity around 6-9 months old. Rams mature slightly later, around 7-10 months. Their growth rate is influenced by breed, nutrition, and environment.
  • Wool Production: Sheep are primarily raised for wool, which is shorn annually. The quality and quantity of wool vary significantly by breed, with some producing fine wool and others coarser types. Regular shearing is essential for the sheep's health and comfort.
  • Breeding Cycles: Sheep are seasonal breeders, with ewes typically coming into heat in the autumn. Gestation lasts about 5 months, and lambs are usually born in the spring. This seasonality is a key factor in managing flocks.
  • Dietary Needs: Sheep are ruminants and primarily graze on grasses and legumes. They require a balanced diet rich in fiber, protein, and minerals. Access to clean water is crucial for their health and productivity.
