The average gestation period of a sheep is 147 days, but it can range from 138 to 159. There are breed differences in gestation length, so breeds that mature earlier will have shorter pregnancies than later maturing breeds. If the ewe is pregnant with more than one lamb, they will also tend to have a shorter pregnancy. Male lambs and heavier lambs also tend to be carried longer than smaller, female lambs.
