The detail
Finnsheep, or Finnish Landrace, are a northern short-tailed breed from Finland known for large litters, with triplets and quadruplets common. They are small and fine-boned, and are often crossed to raise lambing rates in other flocks.
What to weigh
Big litters mean small lambs, more bottle feeding and ewes that need excellent nutrition in late pregnancy. Purebreds are lighter-muscled than meat breeds.
