Question: how soon after giving birth can sheep get pregnant?
Answer: It is convenient to wait at least 3 months after the last parturition (lambing) before a ewe is bred again. A ewe comes into first heat at 7 to 8 months of age. A ewe should not be bred when she comes into her first heat. Experts recommend a ewe of at leas 10 or 12 months old to be bred for the first time.
