Hard Times for Germany's Sheep Farmers | DW Business Brief. Most Germans eat on average only 1 kg of lamb per year. Lamb is expensive. Land to graze sheep is expensive. No wonder the average age of the German shepard is 60, and many are giving up on the business altogether.

Dorset Horn Sheep
The Dorset or Dorset Horned breed of sheep is known mostly for its prolific lambing. It has been known to produce two lambing seasons per year: bred in May for lambs finished by the holidays, and bred again immediately after the first lambing to produce again in March or April (from Wikipedia).

The Dorset Horn was developed in the mid 1800s. Its chief distinction is its horns – large and curled – in both rams and ewes.
Dorset (pronounced /ˈdɔrsɪt/) (or archaically, Dorsetshire), is a county in South West England on the English Channel coast. The county town is Dorchester.
