Most lambs born in a single confinement

The world's most prolific sheep was a Finnish Landrace ewe owned by the D. M. C. Partnership (comprising Trevor and Diane Cooke, Stephen and Mary Moss and Ken and Carole Mihaere) of Feilding, Manawatu, New Zealand who gave birth to eight healthy lambs on 4 September 1991.

On 19 April 1994 the record was equalled by 6-year-old Ewe 835 Ylva, owned by Birgitta and Kent Mossby of Halsarp Farm, Falk”ping, Sweden.
