Best Answer

Lambs are usually born from 142 to 152 days after they have been bred. Most farms tend to breed in the fall, resulting in lambs born in the warmer spring months. However, it is possible to breed at any time, so lambs can be born virtually any time of the year. Spring, however, is the most common time, because of ideal weather conditions.

The "lambing season" is directly relevant ,like all mammals reproduction,to the time of mating.This only occurs naturally in the sheep world with the declining day light in the autumn.The reason being that, in the evolutionary world, the offspring would appear in the spring when the grass starts to grow in order to feed the mother ewe so milk production is maximised.The exception to this is the Dorset horn breed of sheep that is capable of breeding at any time of the year for reasons unknown.The gestation period of sheep is 147 days +/- 5 days.
