Sheep vary greatly in size. They begin breeding at 2 years old. They have babies every year. The ewe carries the young sheep inside her body for 5 months only. Mother sheep usually have single births but twins or triplets aren't uncommon.
Sheep like to stay together in flocks or groups and eat grains and grass.
Sheep need little care. They love to eat sheep for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sheep, especially young lambs, are sometimes attacked by other animals. Coyotes, bears, foxes, and golden eagles are all able to kill able to eat lambs. Some kinds of dogs will protect sheep.
