Sheep live 10-12 years. The ewes produce almost all twins 92% with about 6% triplets and 2% single lambs." So ... there you go!

I've always wanted to own a sheep or two and so am very envious that you got to raise Henry. Needless to say, if I ever fulfill my sheep-goal, I know who to turn to for veterinary services!
