Some sheep have their lambs at different times of the year. It is different for different breeds. Most do lamb in the late winter or early spring. We have a ewe that is mostly Finn Sheep, and she just had twins on Nov. 27. Finn Sheep are one breed that will breed and lamb "out of season".

That depends on where they are living and when they are lambing. Some sheep have their lambs in barns (protected from late winter weather), and often they have them in a lambing stall (to give them privacy and help the ewe to focus on the lambs). When ewes have their lambs in the late spring or summer, they often have them in the field where they are kept. This is not a problem for the lambs unless there is severe weather. At a neighbor's sheep farm, if bad weather is expected, they try to catch the ewe and her lambs and bring them into the safety of the barn.

How is wool fabric made?
Wool is a natural fibre grown by sheep. It is measured in diameter by microns and the better types are also known as 'fine' wool against rougher types or 'coarse' wool. Merino sheep produce high quality wool usually in the range of 19 to 24 microns. Some can be as fine as 17 microns and expensive to buy when made into clothing. Each fibre is hollow and therefore an excellent insulator when worn as clothing. Clothing made from wool is an excellent product to wear when exposed to radiant heat in a bushfire. Ask a sheep farmer for more information, they are friendly people and will usually welcome visitors to see their sheep and watch shearing being done. But, stand where you are asked to stand and keep out of the process!!
