Sandy, I am not certain about the number of days. I run my ram with my ewe's and Ghost seems to keep them bred. I have lambs every 5 1/2 months.
My fall lambs were all born within 10 days of each other. 9 ewe's gave me 15 lambs. They lambed the last week of October. I just checked everyone out good this afternoon and 4 ewe's definately "look" pregnate. They should start lambing the end of next month. I lamb and wean naturally. I usually butcher at about 8 months for the freezer or younger for just a BBQ. I don't worm or immunize. I just provide fresh water and Alfalfa and sometimes a bit of cotton seed. Nothing else. I have yet had any sick animals, other than the crusty nose thing that came in with an outside ewe. But that is no big deal.
