The Finnish Lanrace or Finnsheep is a breed of domestic sheep known for large lamb crops. It is not uncommon for a ewe to have three, four, or even five lambs at once. There have been several instances of seven lambs born in the USA at one time. The record in Finland is a litter of nine live lambs. The lambs are often small, but vigorous at birth, and grow well. The lambs mature early and can be bred at six months of age. Ewes commonly breed out of season and some are bred to lamb twice a year.
