How many days a year is sheep milking typically conducted?

The correct answer is: 180

Sheep milking is typically conducted for around 180 days a year. This duration aligns with the natural breeding and lactation cycles of sheep, which generally produce milk for about six months following the birth of their lambs. During this time, sheep farmers focus on maximizing milk production, which can occur only when the ewes are in their lactation phase, predominantly influenced by their seasonal reproductive patterns. After this milking period, ewes are usually dried off, allowing them time to rest and prepare for the next breeding and lactation cycle. The other choices reflect longer durations that do not correspond with the biological and farming practices involved in sheep milking.
