However, there are some differences that are important to know for good management of reproduction in a pig farm.
Normal Breeding Habits of Sheep. Age of puberty. Ewes typically reach puberty at 5 to 12 months, depending on breed, nutrition, and date of birth. Anestrous period (reproductive inactivity). This is the period when ewes normally do not demonstrate estrus (heat).

Length between estruses, or heat periods.
