Ewes are bred to lamb by 12 months of age, giving birth to two to six vigorous lambs. This characteristic is the most notable trait. Triplets and quadruplets are common.
Ewes have natural mothering instincts with good milk production.
While birth weights are lower than other domestic breeds, this is not indicative of their growth rate or mature weights. Lambs exhibit a strong desire to live. The lifetime production of some Finn ewes has been seven lambs annually on the Start lambing system. Finn wool is soft and lustrous, and measures on average 24 microns. All rights reserved.
