That depends on the age of the ewe at breeding. Though a ewe can be bred at 6 months old, she needs to be of 80% of her adult weight. Gestation is 5 months, so IF a ewe were bred at 6 months of age, the earliest milking could take place is just under a year. Most breeders are going to wait, however; so a better calculation would be at 1-1/2 to 2 years of age.
