In Iraq, sheep breeding typically occurs through seasonal mating, often timed to take advantage of favorable environmental conditions for lambing. Farmers select rams and ewes based on desirable traits such as wool quality, size, and health. The breeding process usually involves natural mating, although artificial insemination may also be used in some cases. After a gestation period of about five months, ewes give birth to lambs, which are then raised for meat, wool, and milk.
