See what having a lamb looks like!

A baby sheep is called a lamb.

The process of having a lamb is called lambing. Ewes can have one to three lambs at a time.

Lambs are raised by their mothers until they are about four to five months old. Then, they are weaned, or seperated from their mothers, to be fed by the farmer. The farmer feeds the lambs until they are sold or are kept to become mothers and fathers.
