Age: A ewe can breed for 7-12 years. As she ages, she may not have as many lambs or have them as frequently, and it may be more difficult for her to lamb. So it sometimes depends on how long the shepherd wants to keep the ewe faced with diminishing returns.
Other email readers: depends on where you live, Moshe. Want to give us a hint?

Bieng as to how im fairly new at raising sheep (b.b.) would appreciate some guidance as to when is the best time to worm them.
Also my ram is soon going into his fourth year and my older ewes the same. How long should they be kept for reproducing?
