Which sheep breeds are particularly known for their ability to produce multiple births?

Prolific breeds are specifically recognized for their exceptional ability to produce multiple births, which often translates into higher lambing rates. These breeds have been selected and developed over time through breeding practices focused on enhancing their reproductive traits. Examples of prolific breeds include the Finnsheep and Romanov, which are known to frequently have twins or even triplets. This characteristic is advantageous for sheep farmers, as it can lead to increased lamb production and overall economic viability of the flock.

In contrast, medium wool, fine wool, and long wool breeds may not share this same level of reproductive efficiency. While they may have their unique benefits, such as fiber quality or quantity, they generally do not have the same prolificacy as those classified as prolific breeds.
