In Western Europe/Europe lambing season spreads usually from January to May with a peak in March/April.
Modern ewe herds are being hormonally treated, (e.g."sponged") and can be synchronized.
The answer to that question depends on whether or not the breed of sheep is a "modern" or improved variety. The "old-fashioned" or unimproved types of sheep begin their breeding cycles after the days begin to shorten in length. Improved breeds are no longer dependant on the natural cycles. When humans domesticated and began to provide for them outside the normal seasonal patterns it became desirable and possible for lambs to be born when the forage was not at its peak. Incidentally this is also why you sometimes find your newly born lambs frozen to the ground. Mother nature had her reasons for breeding seasonally.
