In 2008-2009 there were 72.7 million sheep in Australia and I expect that number has dropped further as lambs are now fetching up to $245 each in the saleyards Please deduct one sheep from this answer and then add it once shipping is complete. I need to send a pregnant Mouflon Ewe to Elizabeth in Queensland. Thanks.
There are about 40 million sheep in New Zealand, and about 4 million people. The number of sheep is once again increasing, but it will be a long time, if ever, that it reaches its historic high of about 80 million.
The most common breed of sheep in New Zealand would probably be the Romney there are many other breeds but the Romney definitely out numbers all other breeds i am not positive on the exact number but there are approximately 25-27 million Romneys in New Zealand the Romney is a meat sheep and a wool sheep producing lambs and wool for the farmer but the Romney has turned more into to a meat breed of sheep because the price of wool has gone done considerably in the pass twenty-years. hope this has answered your question.
There are no such things as "ranchers" in Australia and New Zealand. in Australia, the most common livestock is sheep and cattle, and these are raised on sheep and cattle stations, by station-owners. In New Zealand, farmers mostly raise sheep on runs or stations.
because in 1964 all the sheep were being killed by the troops in America and there were hardly any left for the fests. in 1994 there were no sheep they were extinct and suddenly in new Zea-land there was sheep in a farm and they were very old so the farmer made a cure for it and then finally the life of sheep began in 1994 in new zealand that's why its a new zealand icon

Yes, sheep are mammals and give birth to live young. Baby sheep, called lambs, are born alive and are usually able to stand and walk shortly after birth.
YES! Wow, call the newspaper. They don't have more than 2 typically. There is a breed of sheep called the Finnsheep that has beeen documented to have up to 8 lambs. The Finnsheep have almost "litters" of 3 or 4 lambs on a regular basis.
Lambs and sheep are basically the same thing, unless you mean that lambs are younger and sheep are older. Then obviously sheep's ears are longer.
