How long is the period of gestation of a sheep?

Question

Please only answer if you know the answer. It would also be nice if you could give me a reliable web site so I can know for sure. Thank you.

Answer 1

152-155 days depending if it is a white face or black face with the white face lambing earlier.

Answer 2

Gestation: Average gestation length or length of pregnancy for sheep varies from 144 to 151 days (about 147 days; figure 11). Individual pregnancies may vary from 138 to 159 days. Generally the earlier maturing meat breeds and the high prolific breeds such as the Finn have shorter gestation lengths (144 to 145 days), while the slower maturing finewool breeds (Rambouillet) have longer periods (150 to 151). Typically multiple lamb baring ewes will have slightly shorter gestation periods. It is not unusual for individual ewes within breeds to vary in gestation length by 3 to 5 days.

Answer 3

five months the best time to breed is in the late fall so you will have birth in the spring.  same for a goat as a added tibit.

Answer 4

150 days

Answer 5

The normal gestation period of ewes is approximately 147 days, ranging from 144 to 152 days. The medium-wool breeds and meat-type breeds ordinarily have a shorter gestation period than do the fine-wool breeds. High temperatures and high nutrition levels may shorten the gestation period two or three days.  This is a good web site for you.
