A ewe normally has a single lamb or twins, but she could have triplets or quads.
Allegedly: "Professor Richard Lancaster conducted a global census in 2008, concluding an estimated 24 billion sheep on earth, spanning six of the planet's seven continents." However this number seems incredulous, and I cannot find any reliable sources to back it up. Or any information on Professor Lancaster and his work (other than the previous quoted answer). More conservative estimates put the number at around 1.2 billion.

Ah, Sojourner Truth was one of twelve siblings, can you imagine that? Each one of them unique and special in their own way, just like different colors on our palette. It's wonderful to think about the love and connection they must have shared growing up together.
Yes, Claudette Colvin has four siblings.

The word is "flock."
Over nine thousand!!!! Edit: Above are trollz at work. Answer: 5 = Your sheep 7 = My sheep When you give me a sheep, your number of sheep drops from 5 to 4 and mine rises to 8, which is twice 4. When i give you a sheep, your number of sheep becomes 6 and mine is lowered to 6, too. TBH I'm glad I've got sheep all of a sudden. Lamb for dinner tomorrow night :D
64 is the largest number of siblings
The size of the property and thus the number of sheep that can be grazed..
A flock.
Polyphemus ate sheep,cheese,men, and other things.
Let's denote the number of white sheep as W and the number of black sheep as B. We are given that 2 out of 5 sheep are white, so W = 2/5(W + B). We are also told that there are 8 more black sheep than white sheep, so B = W + 8. By substituting the second equation into the first equation, we can solve for the total number of sheep in the flock.

Yes sheep can die from a number of dieases but they also die when they are slaughtered for their meat.
Any smaller number separated from the flock are strays.
well the most common is either a spray-painted number on the back of the sheep or a tag pierced into their ear...sheep are rarely branded...
