One sheep produces any where from 2 to 30 lbs. of wool annually. The average fleece weight in the United States is 8.2 lbs. per sheep (per year). The amount and type of wool that a sheep produces is dependent upon its breed (and genetics) and shearing interval.

The other two are right about the average for everywhere, 2 - 30 lbs/ year, but we personally get about 20 - 25 lbs./year per sheep.
