A baby sheep is called a lamb. Lambs are typically born in the spring, and they are known for their soft, fluffy wool and playful behavior. They are dependent on their mothers for nourishment during their early weeks, primarily feeding on their mother's milk. Lambs grow rapidly and are weaned off milk at around 8 to 10 weeks of age, gradually transitioning to solid food, such as grass and hay. In agricultural settings, lambs are often raised for their meat, wool, and milk, contributing significantly to livestock farming. The term "lamb" also refers to the meat from young sheep, which is considered a delicacy in many cuisines.
