A female sheep, like other mammals, is born with a finite number of egg cells, which are stored in her ovaries. At birth, a ewe typically has around 100,000 to 200,000 immature egg cells (oocytes), but this number decreases as she matures. By the time she reaches sexual maturity, the number of viable egg cells is significantly lower, and she will ovulate approximately one egg per estrous cycle during her reproductive years. Overall, the total number of egg cells a female sheep has is in the thousands, but only a fraction will be ovulated during her reproductive lifespan.
