The lambing rate of the first four births is greatly increased with the increase of parity, and the third and fourth lambs rate is about twice that of the first and second births.

2. Boer goats: Boer goats can breed lambs in estrus all the year round, and ewes mature at the age of 6 months. According to the lambing results of 100 ewes, there were 24 single lambs, 58 double lambs, 15 three lambs and 1 four lambs, and the average litter size was 1.93. The rams matured at the age of 6 months, with an average of 15 ewes under grazing and 30 ewes over 9 months of age.

Market price of small tail Han sheep and Boer goat
